Strauss: Walzer & Polkas

These are the 1980 Karajan recordings for the famous Strauß (x3) Walzer )waltz).
Interesting is that there are works from Johann father, Johann son (the famous Johann Strauß), and Josef brother.
Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker give all this elegance and magnificence to these works. It is fluid, rich, and enveloping. This Deutsche Grammophon CD is among the best Karajan out there, plus these are timeless small pieces.
