Spacious recording, Viennese charm, grand selection.......2004-11-06

Although this disc can in no way compete with the musicianship and the atmospherics on Willi Boskovsky's New Year concerts with the Vienna Philharmonic, it is nonetheless praiseworthy and recommendable. Ondrej Lenard has proved often enough on disc that he is a fine conductor, and whenever one sees 'Festival Orchestra' on a CD label, one knows that the recording was (probably) made using musicians specially selected for this occasion. The thin Naxos booklet gives no details whatsoever, so it is anyone's guess who is really playing here. Nevertheless, the result is good: The recording is a good deal more direct and spacious than on many other early Naxos discs (this one was recorded in January 1988), and the playing (Strauss is taken at a comfortable speed) is rather attractive with a good deal of Viennese charm about it, despite being recorded in Bratislava in Slovakia. And the Waltz selection is grand: here are all those tunes that many of us grew up with and have always loved

Enjoyable Performances of Delightful Music.......2004-10-16

This bargain-priced CD is a perfectly acceptable recording of Strauss Waltzes, and contains some of the most well-known ones. If you wanted one recording of Strauss Waltzes, this would be an ideal choice.

Confidently recommended

A Remarkable Collection: Party Time.......2002-08-30

The parties and popular dance music of the 19th century were different than our own party music, of course. But don't let this throw you off. Classical music, in every category, whether serious or festive, is always beautiful and recommendable. If you are a fan of classical music, and also enjoy partying, Strauss waltzes are always the best medicine. His jovial tunes, charming, endearing, playful and romantic, have captivated people for more than a century now. The greatest and most famous of all Johann Strauss waltzes (Johann II) is his Blue Danube Waltz- used in such films as 2001: A Space Odyssey, and epitomizes the waltz form. Other waltzes that must be heard, for their elegance and their charm, are Roses From The South, the waltz-overture from his operetta Die Fledermaus (Strauss operettas each have at least one waltz or polka, and I highly recommend u listen to them), The Artists' Life, Vienna Blood, Tales From The Vienna Blood, Voices Of Spring and the Emperor's Waltz. This collection has a great variety of Strauss waltzes that are sure to lift your spirits and make you long for long, romantic evenings in old Vienna.

Strauss with style and grace.......2006-03-01

This CD does not feature a famous orchestra like the Vienna Philharmonic, but it does have great playing with wonderful style and plenty of grace. The music sounds right, every phrase seems just perfect. However, this CD is priced too high. For just 50 cents more, you can get this CD and another one with more great waltzes. It is well worth the extra searching time.
