Title: Good for Dance Practice
Review: This is admittedly not a recording of high musicality, but it suits its purpose well -- providing pleasing music with which to practice the Viennese Waltz at the regulation tempo for the American style of the dance. These are intentionally not concert performances of Viennese-style music. They are strict-tempo performances intended for the ballroom dance known as the Viennese Waltz. There are many orchestras that are far better than this. But it is difficult to find, for example, recordings by the New York Philharmonic that hold to a strict 54 measure per minute tempo! If you're a musical purist looking for fine recordings of Strauss waltzes as he would have conducted them, don't buy this CD. If you're a ballroom dancer looking for practice music, this fits the bill well at a good price.
