This review is from: Wiener Musik [Box Set] (Audio CD)

One can only agree with the other opinions here. Great music, great interpretation, great price.Can't get any better than this. Furthermore I like the criteria of the compilation by composer, starting from Lanner to end with some less famous or almost unknown waltz and viennese music composers, via the Strauss family of course. Some of the less famous composers can be found also in a couple of cds from Marco Polo called "Lokomotiv Music" (1&2) difficult to find these days, so it is a welcome chance to have them here. Extensive space is given to Ziehrer too. 12 cds to enjoy fully.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful performances, July 8, 2009

This is a beautiful, sublime series of recordings of Viennese music. Only Willi Boskovsky and the Vienna Philharmonic are as good at performing the music of the Strauss family.

Granted, the sound is somewhat dated. It would be nice if it could be improved.

But, I'm so happy with these splendid, cheerful, uplifting performances that I have an extra complete set of the CD's just in case anything happens to the original set.
