Description
This CD collection is a tribute to the golden and silver era of Viennese Dance and Entertainment Music, whose unmistakeable sound can be experienced in very special interpretations by the Salzburg Wind Philharmonic under its principal conductor Hansjorg Angerer. Johann Strauss II is of course at the centre of the recordings as he represents the entire variety of this typical Viennese music. He took the world by storm with incomparable waltzes as well as polkas, marches, musical scherzi and dashing operettas. Yet many other well known musicians such as Ziehrer, Suppe or Lehar also knew how to compose in true Viennese style and they all demonstrate that here it is far more than a 'sound style' - it is a feeling for life!
