Happy New Year to all! Yes, I know it has been 2022 for a few weeks now already but I am hoping this finds you happy and healthy. Before we return to our top 50 classical recordings of all-time, I would like to take one more opportunity to explore some music that is almost always associated with the coming of a new year. I am referring to the music of the Strauss family of Vienna, including that of the “Waltz King” himself Johann Strauss II (pictured above). The Strauss family was headed by the composer and conductor father Johann Strauss I, and his sons that also became musicians and composers Johann jr (II), Eduard, and Josef. Ultimately, it was Johann II that gained the most fame for his waltzes and operettas.
