Vienna Johann Strauss Orchestra - Viennese Bonbons
Verdi called Johann Strauss II a ‘colleague and genius’, while Johannes Brahms admitted that of all his fellow composers he was ‘the only one I envy’. From the remotest parts of South America to the large concert halls of Japan, people in all parts of the world are still enthralled by the ‘fascination of Strauss’. This new CD – recorded by the leading Strauss ensemble with an authentic orchestra of forty-two musicians – provides proof that this music is as full of life and genius and as up to date as ever.This live recording was made in the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein and presents a broad cross-section of the repertoire that the Vienna Johann Strauss Orchestra has been cultivating intensively since its foundation in 1966.For this recording the conductor is Alfred Eschwé, an internationally recognised Strauss expert, who, together with the Vienna Johann Strauss Orchestra, has produced these outstanding and particularly authentic performances.
