Wonderful This album is wonderful listening. It's one of the favorites in my entire collection.
Not the end of my search Eons ago I had an LP collection of waltz music that was wonderful backgroung music for Sunday morning with the NY Times and coffee et cetera. This is not as good as that collection was but I'll listen to it now and then until I find what I'm looking for.
Lets waltz Hollywood style... Hollywood Bowl Symphony(actually the L.A. Phil.)conductors Felix Slatkin(father of Leonard Slatkin)and legendary film composer Miklos Rozsa take us on a generous 76+ min. cinematic journey through the Viennese style waltz. For anyone wanting just one convient economical waltz disc, will find this program hard to top. The "Blue Danube", the "Skater's Waltz" and the underated "Danube Waves" by Ivanovici are all on one disc. The remastered sound of these 1958-1961 performances is extraordinary. The album concludes with a rousing performance of a Richard Strauss waltz sequence from the "Der Rosenkavalier" which pays a twentieth century homage from one Strauss to another. All the performances are colorful and well played. Overall a real bargain!
FAVORITE WALTZES I ENJOY THE CLASSICS AND IF YOU DO, OR JUST BEGINNING TO LISTEN, THE OLD MASTERS ARE GREAT. TO ENJOY THIS MUSIC ONE MUST DEVOID YOUR MIND OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS. THEN LISTEN TO THE INSTRUMENTS AND PLACE YOURSELF THERE. IT WILL TAKE YOU AWAY TO A PEACEFUL PLACE.
Dream Away Nice relaxing music with a good sound and orchestra containing an assortment of famous waltzes.
