      4 out of 5 stars Spacious recording, Viennese charm, grand selection.......2004-11-06

      Although this disc can in no way compete with the musicianship and the atmospherics on Willi Boskovsky's New Year concerts with the Vienna Philharmonic, it is nonetheless praiseworthy and recommendable. Ondrej Lenard has proved often enough on disc that he is a fine conductor, and whenever one sees 'Festival Orchestra' on a CD label, one knows that the recording was (probably) made using musicians specially selected for this occasion. The thin Naxos booklet gives no details whatsoever, so it is anyone's guess who is really playing here. Nevertheless, the result is good: The recording is a good deal more direct and spacious than on many other early Naxos discs (this one was recorded in January 1988), and the playing (Strauss is taken at a comfortable speed) is rather attractive with a good deal of Viennese charm about it, despite being recorded in Bratislava in Slovakia. And the Waltz selection is grand: here are all those tunes that many of us grew up with and have always loved

      4 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Performances of Delightful Music.......2004-10-16

      This bargain-priced CD is a perfectly acceptable recording of Strauss Waltzes, and contains some of the most well-known ones. If you wanted one recording of Strauss Waltzes, this would be an ideal choice.

          5 out of 5 stars A Remarkable Collection: Party Time.......2002-08-30

          The parties and popular dance music of the 19th century were different than our own party music, of course. But don't let this throw you off. Classical music, in every category, whether serious or festive, is always beautiful and recommendable. If you are a fan of classical music, and also enjoy partying, Strauss waltzes are always the best medicine. His jovial tunes, charming, endearing, playful and romantic, have captivated people for more than a century now. The greatest and most famous of all Johann Strauss waltzes (Johann II) is his Blue Danube Waltz- used in such films as 2001: A Space Odyssey, and epitomizes the waltz form. Other waltzes that must be heard, for their elegance and their charm, are Roses From The South, the waltz-overture from his operetta Die Fledermaus (Strauss operettas each have at least one waltz or polka, and I highly recommend u listen to them), The Artists' Life, Vienna Blood, Tales From The Vienna Blood, Voices Of Spring and the Emperor's Waltz. This collection has a great variety of Strauss waltzes that are sure to lift your spirits and make you long for long, romantic evenings in old Vienna.

His jovial tunes, charming, endearing, playful and romantic, have captivated people for more than a century now. The greatest and most famous of all Johann Strauss waltzes (Johann II) is his Blue Danube Waltz- used in such films as 2001: A Space Odyssey, and epitomizes the waltz form. Other waltzes that must be heard, for their elegance and their charm, are Roses From The South, the waltz-overture from his operetta Die Fledermaus (Strauss operettas each have at least one waltz or polka, and I highly recommend u listen to them), The Artists' Life, Vienna Blood, Tales From The Vienna Blood, Voices Of Spring and the Emperor's Waltz. This collection has a great variety of Strauss waltzes that are sure to lift your spirits and make you long for long, romantic evenings in old Vienna.

                3 out of 5 stars Mixed Bag.......2005-06-05

                There are many better renditions of the “Blue Danube” on the market than this rather smooth and uncontured one from Slovakia, so if you are merely looking for this Strauss super-hit, it would be advisable to go elsewhere (try Willy Boskovsky with the Vienna Philharmonic on Decca). But taken as a whole, this is still quite a pleasing disc, the nine numbers here having been, as I can only assume, culled from the Complete Johann Strauss Edition published by Marco Polo at full-price. The CSR Symphony Orchestra, directed by Ondrej Lenard, makes up for the uninspired opening with fair renditions of the “Pizzicato Polka” and the “Tausendundeine Nacht” waltz, followed later by acceptable versions of “Frühlingsstimmen” and the “Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka”. The playing is not always brilliant, but the overall impression is quite good, especially as the recorded sound is better than on a lot of early Naxos discs (the recordings here were made in 1988 and 1989): if you listen at a slightly higher volume than usual, you will notice that there is much detail captured, with some excellent bass, and only occasionally does the empty recording venue lead to that “cavernous” sound that is so often heard on Naxos. One of the most interesting pieces on this disc is the Overture to Strauss’ opera “Indigo und die 40 Räuber”, here played by the CSSR State Philharmonic from Kosice, directed by Alfred Walter. I have had occasion in the past to criticize Kosice recordings for Naxos, but here both the playing and the sound are superior to the Bratislava CSR SO; the Quadrille from “Die Fledermaus” is also given a spirited rendering by the same orchestra, and it is only the waltz “Wo die Citronen blüh’n” which fails to deliver the excitement that one can expect from Strauss. The last piece on the disc, the “Morgenblätter” (morning newspapers!), is here played by the Polish State Philharmonic, directed by Johannes Wildner, in a more than acceptable rendition in an acoustic that is obviously better than at either of the two Slovakian venues. All in all a mixed bag that can give a good deal of pleasure without in any way being ideal.
