His popularity is immense: in all parts of the world melodies by Johann Strauß can be heard and in our part of the world out of almost every house.
Already in 1884 a Viennese critic wrote this words about a composer who like no other was able to capture the atmosphere and tradition of the imperial city in his music: Johann Strauß, the famous waltz king.
The DVD in hand is exclusively dedicated to Johann Strauß. His works are performed by an outstanding cast: the conductor Erich Leinsdorf (1912 : 1993), native Austrian, but spending most of his life in the United States, returned to his home country for this recording and took over the guidance of the cast. Standing by his side are famous soloists: soprano Helen Donath who originally came from America and made a big opera career in Europe and the German tenor Werner Hollweg.
The repertoire is divided in two parts: it starts with a very mixed programme. Here, polkas, waltzes and the overture from the operetta Waldmeister can be heard. Helen Donath performs the vocal versions of the waltz Voices of Spring and the waltz The Queen’s Lace Handkerchief, which are full of coloratures.
In addition, excerpts from the operetta The Gypsy Baron are staged the overture, the Treasure Waltz, the march and the famous duet One day we were young. Finally, Erich Leinsdorf announces the encore to the great pleasure of the audience: it is the Emperor Waltz.
