This Naxos double CD is effectively a reworking of the original single CD release `The Best of Strauss', expanded to include more of the composer's music then attractively packaged with new artwork and a card slip-case cover showing an amusing caricature of the composer.

As with any `Best Of' compilation much of the composer's work will inevitably be omitted, particularly so in the case of Strauss considering he was one of 19th century's most prolific composers with some 250 surviving pieces to his name. His works, consisting largely of Waltzes, Marches, Polkas and Operettas, enjoy widespread popularity today - no better demonstration of this is the annual New Year's Day concert by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, consisting ...

Believe the hype. This is a lovely record. 80 minutes of sheer joy (one new track - the Emperor Waltz - has been added to this reissue). The Vienna Philharmonic always used to have a reputation for the sweetest string sound in the world, and it is very clearly evident here. Karajan's 1980s recordings are a mixed bag; some have been rightly criticised as superficial, glossy, or lacking in tension. Others, including this one, are among the best he ever made; which means they are among the best ANY conductor has ever made. Some of the most famous Strauss family pieces are here - the aforementioned Emperor Waltz, the Blue Danube, Die Fleidermaus Overture and the Radetzky March. All are beautifully played. Karajan said that he had loved this music ... Read More:

We have all seen those ads with "The Only Opera CD you will ever need" or "The Only Classical CD you will ever need" haven't we?
Well, I thought that the "Only ever need" expression was trite and hackneyed.
Until I played though this recording.
It really IS the ONLY Strauss (family) music set you will ever need (or want).
Not only does it contain music(obviously) by Johann Strauss Elder and Younger,but also by Johann the Youngers brothers Josef and Eduard;equally as fine musicians as their brother and father if (sadly) lesser known.
Add to this probably the greatest orchestra in the world,The Vienna Philharmonic;conducted by the inimitable and matchless Willi Boskovsky.
What more could you ask?
Just put a disc ... Read More:

10.Strauss: Don Juan Op.20; Eine Alpensinfonie Op.64 (Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra / Jansons) by: Royal Concertgebouw, Jansons

Now that the Alpine Sym. has come into its own and one can forget the decades when it was derided as the brontosaurus among Strauss's tone poems, we have a wealth of choice. No work shows off an orchestra's virtuosity as thrillingly -- not even Ein Heldenleben - and so it comes as no surprise that Europe's powerhouse orchestras have dominated the field, particularly Karajan's Berlin account from the early digital era. Now Jansons, with the advantage of spectacularly lifelife sonics, gives the old master a run for his money.

I have only heard the two-channel stereo version, but there's no hesitation in saying that the Royal Concertgebouw's house label must boast some of the best engineers in the world. Every detail in the playing is vibrantly alive. ... Read More:
