Waltzes for orchestra

No. 329 of the ongoing ITYWLTMT series of audio montages is this week's Tuesady Blog. It can be found in our archives at https://archive.org/details/pcast329

=====================================================================

Our final montage for 2019, just in time for the New Year, features the Waltz, including some waltz collections and was built around the contents of an old Vanguard recording called "The Great Waltz Composers" featuring the Vienna State Opera Orchestra under Anton Paulik.

I added three "waltz collections" to the montage: Richard Rodgers' waltzes from his many Broadway musicals (arranged by Leroy Anderson for the Boston Pops), the set of waltzes composed by Richard Strauss for Der Rozenkavalier (arranged by Artur Rodzinski for the Cleveland Orchestra) and Ravel's own orchestration of his Valses Nobles et Sentimentales.

To close things out, Karajan's arrangement of Sibelius' Valse Triste.

I think you will love this music too!
