5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, December 1, 2000

Ein Straussfest Volume I has become one of my favorites through the years. The playing is exuberant, the sound effects wonderful and the overall sound quality of this recording is the best of any I have ever heard! I have some great "direct to disk" Sheffield vinyl from the late 70's and I remember many audiophiles claiming the superiority of the old technology. This album, I believe, proves them wrong. This album is a rare combination of musicianship and technology and a spectacular demonstration disk!

I eagerly looked forward to the release of volume II, and unfortunately was greatly disappointed. The sound, by Telarc standards, is miserable and the performances are uninspired, in my opinion. Buy and treasure volume I, forget volume II.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pop Pop Fizz Fizz, September 6, 1999

A great CD, especially for energetic versions of Strauss waltes and wild sound effects. Can be used as a demonstration disc. Almost as good as the old Wily Boskovsky sets.
