If anything Karajan is even more brilliant than before and the Decca recording scintillating. Hilde Gueden is a deliciously vivacious Rosalinde, a beautifully projected interpretation. The Karajan ‘gala performance’ featured Decca stars appearing in their turn at the cabaret -in the Orlovsky Ball sequence. This was a famous tradition of performances at the New York Met in the early years of the 20th Century” (Penguin Guide)

]]> Waltzes & Polkas of Vienna “Strauss Family Favourites”

Catalogue No: ALC 1070

“John learned Strauss style early, aged 9, when Willi Boskovsky stayed for the weekend.”
– MusicalMerit
The LSO is on top form and the rhythmic feel of the playing combines lilt with polished liveliness. Georgiadis is a warmly sympathetic Strauss conductor. no lack of lilt in the waltz & all the polkas are spirited. The playing throughout is of a high standard and the vivid modern recording cannot be faulted.
— Penguin Guide©

Critics were stunned by these superb Strauss recordings – returning to the catalogue at a super budget price
