This review is from: Bonbons aus Wien: Rare Old Vienna Dances (The Willi Boskovsky Collection, Vol. 1) (Audio CD)

This album was orignally released at least 30 years ago, along with a couple of others. One was called then Lollipops Aus Wien. I think all the selections on "Lollipops" are on "The Charm of Old Vienna, Vol 2" (Volume 1 is the Bonbons Album). Confusing huh? The third album is called Creampuffs from Vienna. I highly recommend all albums as they are delightful and very easy to listen to. Mine have been played over and over again. This is rich, melodious music that stands the test of time. Any classical music fan who likes Viennese music will absolutely love these albums. These were recordings that Boskovsky himself was especially fond of and was looking forward to their appearance on compact disk. Unfortunately he died in 1991 while these were in preparation for release on CD. I don't think there is any better tribute to this superb violinist. These recordings never disappoint and can be listened to over and over again. Highly recommended.
