Waltz this? Quality!.......2007-02-05

After previewing dozens of DELTA/LASERLIGHT classical albums, and finding them to be without exception either dreadful or laughable (or both), this reviewer was pleasantly surprised by that label's STRAUSS: FAMOUS OVERTURES set.

The Vienna Johann Strauss Orchestra does a laudable job of bringing these several works to life. Audio quality is excellent, as well. The one page Strauss bio looks typewritten! This one's still a keeper, though.

Mixed Bag.......2005-06-05

There are many better renditions of the “Blue Danube” on the market than this rather smooth and uncontured one from Slovakia, so if you are merely looking for this Strauss super-hit, it would be advisable to go elsewhere (try Willy Boskovsky with the Vienna Philharmonic on Decca). But taken as a whole, this is still quite a pleasing disc, the nine numbers here having been, as I can only assume, culled from the Complete Johann Strauss Edition published by Marco Polo at full-price. The CSR Symphony Orchestra, directed by Ondrej Lenard, makes up for the uninspired opening with fair renditions of the “Pizzicato Polka” and the “Tausendundeine Nacht” waltz, followed later by acceptable versions of “Frühlingsstimmen” and the “Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka”. The playing is not always brilliant, but the overall impression is quite good, especially as the recorded sound is better than on a lot of early Naxos discs (the recordings here were made in 1988 and 1989): if you listen at a slightly higher volume than usual, you will notice that there is much detail captured, with some excellent bass, and only occasionally does the empty recording venue lead to that “cavernous” sound that is so often heard on Naxos. One of the most interesting pieces on this disc is the Overture to Strauss’ opera “Indigo und die 40 Räuber”, here played by the CSSR State Philharmonic from Kosice, directed by Alfred Walter. I have had occasion in the past to criticize Kosice recordings for Naxos, but here both the playing and the sound are superior to the Bratislava CSR SO; the Quadrille from “Die Fledermaus” is also given a spirited rendering by the same orchestra, and it is only the waltz “Wo die Citronen blüh’n” which fails to deliver the excitement that one can expect from Strauss. The last piece on the disc, the “Morgenblätter” (morning newspapers!), is here played by the Polish State Philharmonic, directed by Johannes Wildner, in a more than acceptable rendition in an acoustic that is obviously better than at either of the two Slovakian venues. All in all a mixed bag that can give a good deal of pleasure without in any way being ideal.

Jolly Selection.......2005-06-05

The five Naxos volumes of “Famous Waltzes, Polkas, Marches and Overtures” by Johann Strauss II are, I assume, collated from the Marco Polo edition of the complete works of Strauss and have been published at full price. Strauss was, of course, first and foremost a composer of dance music, but listening to this series makes it perfectly obvious that he was a lot more than that; perhaps it is no wonder that Brahms was said to be one of his admirers.
This third volume contains quite a jolly selection including some very well-known pieces: the overture to the Gypsy Baron, the waltz Im Krapfenwaldl (complete with birdsong-imitations), the superb waltz Wiener Blut and the Egyptian March, composed for the opening of the Suez Canal. But the other pieces on the disc are also all worth hearing. The performances by the CSR Symphony Orchestra of Bratislava, the CSR State Philharmonic of Kosice (Slovakia) and the Polish State Philharmonic are generally adequate – nobody would mistake them for the Vienna Philharmonic, but they obviously enjoyed playing these pieces under the leadership of a total of five conductors. Perhaps surprisingly, there are practically no variations in the acoustic or sound quality.
