I adore Johann Strauss. Waltzes are my favourite. My favouritea by him are Accelerationen and The Emperor Waltz. My favourite recordings are by Lorin Maazel. I have a cd compilation of the New Years concerts taken from the early 80s concerts I believe. The quality is astounding. The studio recordings of those waltzes sound flat by comparison. I only have one recording of Die Fledermaus it's by Robert Stolz. It's the full version with the dialogue unfortunately. My Lorin Maazel CD does have the overture on it and it's wonderful.
I agree, the music Johann Strauss never fails to make me feel good. I have collected as many of the New Years concerts as I can. Accelerations and the Emperor Waltz are two of the best! Thanks for your message.
