Description:
Composed by Johann Strauss II, the Eisenbahnlust Waltz charmingly reflects the enthusiasm of the 19th century for traveling by train. This lively work conveys movement, a spirit of optimism and a fascination with this revolutionary means of transportation at the time. In the elegant and rousing style of the "Waltz King", the music alternates between lightness, lyricism and dance-like liveliness. You can almost hear the puffing of the locomotive and see the passing landscapes. Bertrand Moren's arrangement emphasizes the richness and subtlety of this important score. It emphasizes its contrasts and energy while remaining true to the original spirit of Strauss. This version offers a colorful and lively rediscovery of the work. Accessible and brilliant at the same time, it delights performers and audiences alike. A musical journey full of charm and elegance.
