Josef Strauss - Sport-Polka; Polka schnell; op. 170

[winrx]

The orchestra plays very well for him considering his "minimalist" conducting - it kind of reminds me of Karajan's New Years Concert in 87. The senior maestros seem to elicit more disciplined playing from the Viennese, which just might be understandable.

Ich war niemals auf ein so schönen Konzert! Der Witz ist, dass Wien ist in der Nachbarschaft.

best and fun conductor of a lifetime!! :D.

[EliasCalabretta1]

I'm not even sure what a Polka is,(probably a dance form) but this piece sounds so energetic, and so lively. You just must get up and do something as energetic.

[Ezaele]

it is so fast, and i'm only a novice! :P

@TheForceinU You can buy the DVD in a music shop. Or I imagine you can buy it by internet (look for it in deutche grammaphon)

another great josef strauss polka, josef wrote tons of em, way more then johann 1 and 2 combined, but yet when you hear the name strauss, folks think of his brother.
