Johann Strauss Eugene Ormandy, Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra - The Music Of Johann Strauss

Review by Nur Syamsia. A

The album "The Music of Johann Strauss" by Johann Strauss Eugene Ormandy, Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra is a delightful collection of some of the most iconic waltzes and polkas composed by the legendary Austrian composer. The album features the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Eugene Ormandy, delivering a superb performance that captures the essence of Strauss's music.

The album opens with the famous waltz "The Blue Danube," a piece that has become synonymous with Strauss's music. The orchestra's rendition of this piece is simply stunning, with each instrument blending seamlessly to create a rich and vibrant sound. The album also includes other well-known pieces such as "Tales from the Vienna Woods," "Voices of Spring," and "Emperor Waltz," all of which are delivered with the same level of precision and artistry.

One of the highlights of the album is the inclusion of lesser-known pieces such as "Thunder and Lightning Polka" and "Pizzicato Polka." These pieces showcase Strauss's versatility as a composer and are performed with great energy and enthusiasm by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra.

Summary by Nur Syamsia. A

"The Music of Johann Strauss" by Johann Strauss Eugene Ormandy, Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra is a must-have for anyone who appreciates classical music. The album is a testament to Strauss's enduring legacy and the talent of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. Highly recommended!
