Description:
A timeless masterpiece of the Viennese repertoire is An der schönen blauen Donau, Op. 314 by Johann Strauss (son), which perfectly embodies the elegance and refinement of the romantic waltz. Composed in 1867, the work quickly became one of the great musical symbols of Vienna and the Austrian way of life. A majestic introduction leads to a series of irresistibly graceful themes that combine lyricism, splendor and refinement. The melodic richness and flowing rhythm create a swirling movement reminiscent of the shimmering reflections of the Danube. At once festive and poetic, this waltz captivates with its perfect balance between nobility and spontaneity. Bertrand Moren's arrangement retains all the splendor and delicacy of the original and presents a clear and lively reading that particularly emphasizes the tonal brilliance and characteristic dance-like swing of this legendary work.
