An der schönen, blauen Donau

Album by Johann Strauss & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

This orchestral waltz is by Austrian composer Johann Strauss II, composed in 1867. It features sweeping melodic themes, lilting triple-time rhythms and rich orchestral colouring characteristic of Viennese dance music, and it occupies a central place in the development of the 19th-century waltz and the composer’s catalogue.
First released: 1982
