Wiener Johann Strauss Orchestra, Alfred Eschwé - Freuet euch des Lebens

Review by Val Klavans

The album "Freuet euch des Lebens" by the Wiener Johann Strauss Orchestra, conducted by Alfred Eschwé, is a delightful collection of Viennese waltzes and polkas. The orchestra's lush and sweeping sound captures the spirit of Strauss's music, with its infectious rhythms and joyful melodies. The album's title, which translates to "Enjoy Life," is an apt description of the music contained within. From the lively "Thunder and Lightning" polka to the romantic "Roses from the South" waltz, the album is a celebration of life's pleasures. The musicians of the Wiener Johann Strauss Orchestra play with precision and passion, bringing out the nuances of each piece. The album is a must-listen for anyone who loves classical music, especially those who appreciate the beauty and elegance of Viennese waltzes and polkas. "Freuet euch des Lebens" is a wonderful addition to any music lover's collection.
