This album is a collection of recordings he left with Krauss recording from 1929 to 1954.
His main work is opera recording, as well as recording and choral work as a concert conductor, and his accompanied songs, and a variety of his recordings to meet a variety of.

The Vienna Boys 'Choir specializes to a certain extent in Strauss: Strauss' music means Vienna, is the sung business card of the Waltz City. Since the 1920s, the waltzes and polkas of the Strauss family have been an integral part of the concert repertoire of the Vienna Boys' Choir. Six times they were guests at the traditional New Year's Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic. The first recording of the Donauwalzer with the Vienna Boys Choir was made in 1933. Stories from the Vienna Woods were recorded in 1937, and a whole record with Strauss appeared in the USA in 1939; the last one appeared in 1999. High time for a new edition!

If one disc of waltzes, marches, and polkas by the Strauss family is too little and all their waltzes, marches, and polkas are too much, this five-disc Decca set should be just enough. Featuring former concertmaster turned waltz master Willi Boskovsky on the podium and the Wiener Philharmoniker in the pit, these performances are elegantly conducted, stylishly played, and idiomatically performed. Boskovsky knows exactly how to phrase a theme, accent a rhythm, and bend a tempo to keep the music eminently danceable. The Viennese players respond to him and the music with an effortless enthusiasm and appealing affection that make their performances nearly impossible to resist.

Granting a long-held wish of many record collectors, Sony Classical is issuing the complete monaural American Columbia discography of Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra in a vast box set of 120 CDs, all in new remasterings. Almost all of this material will be appearing for the first time on CD on Sony Classical. Indeed, 152 of these recordings have never been released at all on CD before now.

Issued without accompanying notes, we are asked to take it on faith that these recordings made by Otmar Suitner with the Dresden Staatskapelle are in fact legendary. But while most of the performances here have not been released on compact discs, that does not necessarily make them legendary; it only makes them rare.

"The Kleiber must-haves are two New Year's concerts with the Vienna Philharmonic (1989, from Deutsche Grammophon; 1992, from Philips). Here is the very essence of joyous music-making with the added visual value of the sumptuous large hall of the Musikverein in Vienna." - New York Times
