On the Beautiful Blue Danube

Album by Johann Strauss & The King’s Singers

On the Beautiful Blue Danube is a waltz by Austrian composer Johann Strauss II, composed in 1867. The work exemplifies the Viennese waltz with its lilting triple metre, sweeping orchestral melodies and contrasting sections, and it occupies a central place in Strauss's output and in 19th-century Viennese dance and concert repertoire.
First released: 1990
