New Years Polka

JOHANN & ALEKSEY
Strauss in Russia, Igudesman in Vienna

Live from the Konzerthaus, Vienna

"On his summer trips, Johann Strauss was often seen strolling with Maria Olgovna, Aleksey Igudesmans great-great-grandmother in the Pavlovsk Forest. Although Strauss spoke no Russian and Maria no German, a deep, spiritual bond formed between them. The unexpected birth of Maria's illegitimate child has led to great speculation."

Is Aleksey Igudesman really Strauss great-great-grandson? We dont know. However, both share a unique feeling for harmony, melody and humor. Although over 100 years separate them stylistically and historically, Igudesmans compositions seem to be have a similar spirit to Strauss's unforgetable works. Igudesmans performs works by Johann Strauss as well as own composition, such as works, such as "New Years Polka", "Bulgarian Waltz and "Crazy Bell Polka".

Yeay, enjoyed it verymuch- me and my siblings have always enjoyed your performances from afar via youtube. I was wondering if you could check out the Carmel HighSchool Orchestra (recently did a performance at the LincolnCentre) and perhaps tell us what you think.
