Fritz Reiner/CSO - Vienna (1958) 24-Bit/96-kHz Vinyl Rip

Vienna and the waltz have long been synonymous. The first waltzes were played at Vienna's Imperial Court balls around 1660 and ever since Vienna has been best known to most people as the world's waltz capital, though it justly is proud of some other achievements.
In the past 150 years, the Vienna waltz has become extremely respectable. Today, great orchestras perform it and great conductors perform it happily. They know that the Blue Danube or the Emperor Waltz will never fail them. This is as true on the Continent as it is in the United States, where the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, under Fritz Reiner, performs the waltzes of the Strausses - Johann, Richard and Josef - with all the authenticity and elan of a Viennese string ensemble itself.
No accident, this. Fritz Reiner's early career as an opera and symphony conductor in Europe had Dresden as its background, but he was conducting in Vienna as early as 1915. There is no question that the Viennese stamp of genuineness has remained indelibly in Reiner's readings of the music of Vienna. And it is no coincidence that in Chicago, where the orchestra was founded by Theodore Thomas and led for many years by the late Frederick Stock, the spirit of Vienna is perpetuated by several Viennese-trained members of the orchestra.
