Johann Strauss Jr - Valses

Review by Kristen Beireis

"Valses" by Johann Strauss Jr. is a delightful classical album that showcases the composer's mastery of the waltz. The album features a collection of Strauss' most famous waltzes, including "The Blue Danube," "Tales from the Vienna Woods," and "Emperor Waltz."

The album's arrangements are beautifully executed, highlighting the intricate melodies and harmonies of each piece. The orchestra's performance is impeccable, with a rich, full-bodied sound that captures the spirit and energy of Strauss' music.

Listeners will be swept away by the lush, romantic melodies of the waltzes, which are both elegant and playful. The album's pacing is also excellent, with a good mix of slower, more contemplative pieces and lively, energetic ones.
