Great Strauss music conducted by an expert (2008-09-28)
Willi Boskovsky was born and trained in Vienna and served as concertmaster of the great Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra for forty years. The outstanding performances of Viennese waltzes and other music by Johann Strauss II -- The Waltz King -- as well as by his father Johann I, and his brothers Josef and Eduard which are presented on these CDs make clear that Boskovsky thoroughly mastered the essence of this delightful musical idiom. This is beautiful music superbly conducted and played by people who understand and love it. All of the Strauss favorites and many delightful lesser-known works are included. Very highly recommended.

This is a great album (2008-01-14)
Boskovsky is one of the foremost interpreters of the music of Strauss. I have much of his material on LP, this edition on CD sounds great. Hear how Strauss most have wanted his music to be played. This CD collection is a most for anyone interested in this musical period.
