By 1825, the adult population was about 200,000, and the capacity of the ballrooms about 50,000. Both Johann Strauss and his son Johann Strauss II were, in turn, known as 'the waltz king', and their music turned them into household names across Europe. On this album, the older Strauss is represented by his 'Music of the Spheres', while the attention turns firmly to the output to his son, including his infamous waltz 'On the Beautiful Blue Danube' and the 'Thunder and Lightning Polka'.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eStrauss II also took inspiration from Vienna's obsession with foreign musical influences, and we hear strains of Turkey in the 'Persian March', and of gypsy music in 'The Gypsy Baron Overture' and the Cz\\xe1rd\\xe1s \\u2013 a kind of folk dance \\u2013 from the opera Ritter P\\xe1sm\\xe1n. Soprano Lorina Gore joins the orchestra for the vocal waltz 'Fr\\xfchlingsstimmen' ('Voices of Spring'), as well as arias by Strauss II ('Adele's Laughing Song' from Die Fledermaus) and Leh\\xe1r ('Meine Lippen, sie k\\xfcssen so hei\\xdf' ('My Lips Kiss So Hotly') from Giuditta).\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe album is conducted by the TSO's Chief Conductor and Artistic Director Marko Letonja, whose experience with the Vienna Symphony, Vienna State Opera and a host of other European and international orchestras brings new depth to this much-loved music.\u003cp\u003eFRANZ Von SUPP\\xc9  Light Cavalry: Overture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJOSEF STRAUSS - Sph\\xe4renklange (Music Of The Spheres) \\u2013 Waltz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJOHANN STRAUSS II - Unter Donner Und Blitz (Thunder And Lightning)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFr\\xfchlingsstimmen (Voices Of Spring) \\u2013 Waltz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersischer Marsch (Persian March)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Gypsy Baron: Overture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFRANZ LEH\\xc1R - Meine Lippen, Sie K\\xfcssen So Hei\\xdf (My Lips Kiss So Hotly)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJOHANN STRAUSS II - Cz\\xe1rd\\xe1s \\u2013 Ballet Music No. 3 From Ritter P\\xe1sm\\xe1n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeid Umschlungen, Millionen!
