Johann Strauss - Walzer und Polkas - Naxos Deutschland

The sights and sounds of Vienna are forever associated with the exuberant and popular melodies of Jhann Strauss, Jr.
This volume of the NAXOS MUSICAL JOURNEY dances on Strauss' signature sounds of the Viennese waltz and polka. See this enchanting city by strolling its burstling streets or enjoy one of its famed coffee houses; ride the impressive Ferries wheel at The Prater, as immortalized in the classic film "The Third Man", and thrill to spectacular views; from an evening at Vienna that exudes opulence and joy, as enduring as Strauss' music itself.
