:D i am back again :) this time with it through the pa's...i flipping love this:) i could listen to it over and over again, but i think the neighbours would have summat to say :/ but i don't know why i can't get enough... :) i am an artist, and i want to paint, it is making me want to paint, and i haven't been able to in 6 years :( but thankyou, for posting it,coz i want to paint like i dont know what, i am surrounded by the countryside, and i have been depressed not painting.its made me :D
every time i hear some straus i think about hte fun i ahd travellign aroudn europe and at the concert :). i miss the people i travlled with soem much fun though
When I was a kid I bought a cassette tape of Strauss waltzes and wore it out listening to it. I have searched a few times over the years to find an arrangement I like as well as what my reference material was, and I haven't found it. I randomly searched this up on YouTube to look again, and as I was listening I thought how great this version was and then I read your comment. Thanks for uploading this, what a great discovery to have made randomly.
Io sento come si un sogno arrivasse e diventa tutta la mia tristezza allegria, i miei sogni sono stati fatti e per questo io amo la usica che é stata venuta dal coure e piú importante é sapere che johann strauB ocome me amava la musica, l'amore e la diversione
@piontro wtf, wtf said that JS was created. he evolved like everything else on this planet not by a plonker who sent a snake to cause the world´s problems. go back and read the little jewish book of fairytales again, with an open mind and see it for what it is
@baconstory having studied for the priesthood and having studied the bible for many years, I wqould think that I probably know a lot more about the ´concept´ than you do. Even tho you are correct to cal it a concept as it is not a truth
I was tought evolution along side creationism. I understand how evolution would work, but that only explains so much, and to some extent, it has its flaws along side every theory of origin, and ill stick to jesus because christianity seems to create more helpfull+kind people in the world.
@baconstory where is your proof that christianity creates more helpful+kind people in the world. In fact the evidence would suggest otherwise. Atheists the world over get on by doing great unadvertised things. Christianity, especially the rc church only gets along by coercion. Either way it has nothing to with there being a god or not. There is a lot more evidence on evolution than there is on a god. Within the next years it will be shown that matter can be ´created´.
i said nothing about matter being created, I was refering to existance all together,
and christianity wasent founded on facts its all about faith in contrast to evolution. But you can never be 'right' these days because that will only spark arguments :[
This masterpiece makes my mind travel to other times and places...If there is a God then he certainly is a fan of Strauss...PS: waldteufel78 thank you once again.
@piontro Thanks for the info, man! Now I can finally kill my annoying neighbour without fearing the consequenses, I mean, I have already a place to Hell for that comment, right? What do I have to lose now?
@Serros13 es hermosa yo la baile con mi padre en mi primer matrimonio, fue increible y la orquesta tocaba en forma maravillosa, es imposible no sentir princesa, bailando una pieza con la belleza de esta.
I absolutely adore the genius of Strauss....Yes,it fills my heart with so much love,I wish my Husband could appreciate this music too so that I could share that feeling of glory with him.Instead,I have to listen to Strauss on here with my headphones in or in my car....full blast is Great :-) I agree with everything ThomasHospitaller says.He says all that I too feel,so beautifully!
Yeah apparently a lot of people had a similar problem on other sites on the same day, something to do with 'ad sense' settings or something but it's all gone now. Hope I didn't worry you too much lol x
Strauss son dedicated this waltz to Umberto I King of Italy ("Nel più profondo rispetto alla sua Maestà Umberto I, re d'Italia"): so "The South" is Italy
Dunno why but when I load this page my virus checker comes up with this .. BNP7A\show_ads[1].js .. quarantines it but just thought I would let you know.
@EnochPowell2009 - I don't get it , but looking at the source - It's trying to show an advertisement based upon your machine's google habits. Interestingly, I can't see an advert on the right hand-side (although I often can when other videos are showing)
Vienna is my lovemark forever...Vienna pleases me to the max and beckons me continually. In Vienna I can have the best music in the world, the best opera in the world, the best cuisine in the world,the best of everything ; )
When I hear this music of der Waltz König, all I can feel is the immense joy and light of this existence.
All the stars and angels and those long passed out of this land look down upon us from eternal meadows and hills. Their shining countenances light us up, and they bring nostalgia and love across the whole world. Nothing can be more perfect than the joy of humanity and our glorious, wondrous experience in this world.
Keins aber Strauss kann tun, was er mit den Winden, dem Messing, den Schnüren und dem precussion tut. Jedes Mal wenn ich zu seiner Arbeit höre, die ich zu einer anderen Zeit überschritten werde und Platz und meine Gefühle mich überwältigen.
No one but Strauss can do what he does with the winds, the brass, the strings and the precussion. Everytime I listen to his work I am transcended to another time and place and my feelings overwhelm me
My late father loved this piece of music; especially the 'chorus' which, correct me if I'm wrong is in D major. I too love music, where would we be without it? This goes from an almost poetic line to a building crescendo which only Strauss can perfect. I absolutely adore the Vienna Philharmonic New Year Concerts. They are a pleasantry of expectation!
Hello waldteufel78 I really appreciate the information you gave us about Joseph Lanner and Michael Pamer. Thank you Thank you thank you. I love this music and specially Johan Strauss waltsez. But the honor should go to the one who deserves it
Johann Strauss senior was kinda co-father. the one and only true father of the waltz was Joseph Lanner. he developped the early laendler and simple waltzes of his teacher Michael Pamer into the legendary viennese multipart concert waltzes (before Johann Strauss senior did!)
It seems that Johann Strauss convinced queen Victoria that it was a grear dance and the queen lifted the ban against waltz in England. So I guess Johann is the father.
That happened in England, not in Austria, where the waltz was born. One important difference between Lanner and Strauss: Johann toured all over europe while Joseph played in Austria, Hungary and Italy only. In other words: Johann Strauss exported Joseph Lanners invention.
I heard this song many times in my life ,especialy when I was young.I can remember my dog .I usually singed to my dog Cherry when i was a kid.I am so delighted to hear this song.
I love this song! We play this in Band. I play the trumpet. We don't play the whole song, but we are pass it. We also play surprise symphony by Johann C. Bach. But good job on this song!
I like it!!! It's genious, intelligent and still simple enough that it grows to every persons heart. :) Maybe i like it even more than THe Blue Danube waltz. :D
I am sure you are correct in everything you say about this beautiful piece and its orchestration. If pressed, however, I would personally have to opt for the Blue Danube... it is so varied, re-inventable, majestic, romantic, cool... and a gift to new arrangements... This one has sent me scurrying back to the Danube... Thanks!
this is my favorite of all of strauss's waltzes :) i've played it many times in my city youth symphony, and i never tire of it <3 its absolutely gorgeous and beautiful, and i always enjoy listening playing and dancing to it :)
I love Strauss, and this waltz. Thanks for the background info on the conductor and why it's your favorite version, very light and breezy. The orchestra sails sails straight through many places where others linger to bang the drums a bit and catch their breath. So technically good, and so beautifully arranged.
itìs the most beautiful valzer i've ever heard... i adore classical music and i'm a pianist and each time i can hear Strauss or ciaikovskij's valse i'm really pleased and glad. thanks for posting it.
surely the happiness gene in us all oscillates in 3/4 time :)

I love Strauss, and this waltz. Thanks for the background info on the conductor and why it's your favorite version, very light and breezy. The orchestra sails sails straight through many places where others linger to bang the drums a bit and catch their breath. So technically good, and so beautifully arranged.
