Customer Rating: 
Summary: Waltzes
Comment: Excellent product for the price. Can't comment on the performance per se, having no real background in classical music, but the Strass Waltzes are very pleasing to me, and I would buy this CD again.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Top of the Line
Comment: This CD of lovely Strauss waltzes, marches and polkas is conducted with true Viennese flair by the incomparable Willi Boskovsky. It is not only top of the line in fine sound, but also, a true bargain. Any lover of this type of melodious fare should purchase this without qualms or reservation. More colloquially put, they should 'snap it up'!
Customer Rating:
Summary: The perfect meeting among composer and conductor!
Comment: The spirit of Waltz acquires - in the supreme baton of this talented conductor - a very special label of aristocratic refinement, that panache and nuance that we possibly will not listen any more, because beneath the score, one may feel a sort of pulse and a nestled majesty immersed in the performance.
Many other directors previously and in the future will have the chance to play these Waltzes but nobody will fit the sublime éclat of him.
Customer Rating:
Summary: The very, very best Johann Strauss Jr. recordings
Comment: No orchestra in the world has ever known how to play the waltzes of Johann Strauss Jr. as well as the Wiener Philharmoniker . . . and no conductor has ever led the Philharmoniker in this repertoire in as perfect a Strauss style as Willi Boskovsky (the orchestra's long-time concertmaster). The sine qua non of Strauss playing, the famous Viennese lilting afterbeats (where the second of the three beats of the waltz tempo comes infinitesimally early, rather than in strict time) is here. Tempos perfectly "in the groove" are here. Accept no substitutes: in this repertoire, this combination of performers is the absolute gold standard.
