About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

On his copy of the "Blue Danube" Waltz, Johannes Brahms wrote, "Unfortunately not by Johannes Brahms." Of course, there are snobs who look down their noses at the Strauss family's delightful dances, but such folks don't realize how beautiful -- and beautifully crafted -- this music is. Take the artfully constructed introduction to the "Blue Danube," which begins with horns hinting at the famous theme-to-come, while the rest of the orchestra paints a hazy image of shimmering morning light. All of these waltzes and polkas are associated with Imperial Vienna, and while it would be silly to claim that only the Viennese perform this music authentically, they seem to have the sounds coursing through their veins. Willi Boskovsky made an entire career out of playing and conducting this music, and in this two-disc collection he leads the Vienna Philharmonic in bright and breezy performances of the Strauss family's most popular waltzes. Andrew Farach-Colton, Barnes & Noble
