Strauss Ii Box / Harnoncourt
Label: Warner Classics Catalog: 2564622239 Format: CD Harnoncourt; Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra; Berlin PhilharmonicComposed by: Strauss II, Johann Following his revolutionizing early music work, conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt turned his attention to 19th and 20th c. repertoire. His interpretations of the music of Johann Strauss the Younger are full of Viennese sparkle and, as Harnoncourt himself puts it, “free of treacle.” From his first disc of Strauss waltzes with the Concertgebouw Orchestra, the live album with the Berlin Philharmonic, his 2001 Vienna New Year’s Concert and the complete recordings of Die Fledermaus and Der Zigeunerbaron, all of his Strauss II recordings are released here for the first time in a box set.
