Volume 47 Of ABC Classics 1000 Years Of Classical Music Project - Explore The Fascinating And Joyous World Of The Viennese Waltz!

Vienna is the home of the waltz, and in the 1800s it seemed the whole city was dancing to the music of Johann Strauss, father and son. Vienna's ballrooms could hold a quarter of the city's population! Most famous of all is the Blue Danube Waltz, a joyous celebration of the pleasure of the dance.

This album is part of 1000 Years of Classical Music – a series of 100 volumes charting the history of music to be released on ABC Classics.
