This is music the players have in their blood, and they maintain the echt atmosphere with Godowsky’s tribute to the city, “Alt-Wien” and a clutch of Kreisler gems, rounding the programme off with a new piece by the ensemble’s leader Tibor Ková?, based on traditional Jewish melodies and Mahler themes, “Yiddische Mame”. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Recorded live at Café Sperl in Vienna, 9 March 2011 \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e BONUS: How Schoenberg came to arrange waltzes by Strauss \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Picture format: NTSC 16:9 \u003cbr\u003e  Sound format: PCM Stereo \/ Dolby Digital 5.1 \/ DTS 5.1 \u003cbr\u003e  Region code: 0 (worldwide) \u003cbr\u003e  Subtitles (Bonus): English, French \u003cbr\u003e  Running time: 64 mins (concert) + 10 mins (bonus) \u003cbr\u003e  No. of DVDs: 1 (DVD 9) \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Accentus Music","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":49711424635160,"sku":"4260234830156","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/1900750.jpg?v=1777813599","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/strauss-waltzes-2","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
