Victor Herbert Johann Strauss, Josef Strauss The Austrian Symphony Orchestra, Max Schonherr Kurt Woss - Victor Herbert Highlights

Review by Wendy Nan Rees

Victor Herbert Highlights, performed by the Austrian Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Max Schonherr Kurt Woss, is a delightful album that showcases the works of Victor Herbert, Johann Strauss, and Josef Strauss. The album features a variety of pieces, from lively waltzes to soothing serenades, all expertly performed by the orchestra.

The album opens with the lively and energetic "Gypsy Love Song" from Herbert's operetta The Fortune Teller, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other highlights include the charming waltz "Voices of Spring" by Johann Strauss and the lilting "Serenade for Strings" by Josef Strauss.

The orchestra's performance is impeccable, with each instrument blending seamlessly to create a beautiful and cohesive sound. The conductor, Max Schonherr Kurt Woss, brings out the nuances of each piece, highlighting the intricate melodies and dynamic shifts.
