Johann Strauss and Franz Lehar, my favorite composers ever.

[LePrince1890]

I always find a sense of tragic resignation in Lehar that Strauss, for all his own excellent points, just does not have. The main theme of this waltz is that of the end of an era (that is how it strikes me - it has nothing to do with the actual music in the operetta itself). One can see some figure leaving a room or office or stage to its strains as his place is being filled in with a new person.

[HerrProfessorDoktor]

In my mind, the waltzes of Lehar represent the very best in that genre. While the mostly instrumentally-conceived waltzes of Johann Strauss are lovely, the vocalistic waltzes of Lehar beg to be sung with passion; and they can bring tears by so perfectly bespeaking the tender, nostalgic, sometimes painfully sad farewell to the Post-Romantic era to which I feel myself constantly drawn, in contrast to the boldly heroic optimism of that somewhat earlier time to which Strauss and his music belonged.

@MrRbjunior83 I totally agree with you. Gustav Holst, the British composer, influenced the american film composers to a great extent, too. Franz Lehar was able to encourage the listener with joy and optimism. Isn't it true?

This is more than music! Masterpiece from The Genius -Lehár Ferenc. I'm very proud because He was Hungarian!!!

I bought a PAL VHS of a wonderful production while in Vienna. I brought my multisystem recorder and TV back to the states solely to continue playing this beautiful Count of Luxembourg movie. I will convert it to NTSC and put in on a DVD while I still can. Also got Lehar Conducts Lehar and Franz Lehar Conducts as well as tons of Lehar music on my ipod. Thats how much I love his songs.
