Description:
'Schlagobers' ('Whipped Cream'), Op. 70, is a ballet in two acts with a libretto and score by Richard Strauss. Composed in 1921-22, it was given its première at the Vienna State Opera on 9 May 1924. Despite the fact that both the ballet and the later compiled suite were not an unqualified success, the ballet contained, according to the critics, at least a superb waltz. Nowadays we regularly find this 'Schlagoberswalzer' on all the major concert stages and it lives up to the title. Dutch arranger Christiaan Janssen transcribed this beautiful waltz now for Symphonic Band.
