The works featured on this recording date from the 1830s, when Strauss was pre-eminent in the ballrooms of Biedermeier Vienna. Among the musical delights of this tenth volume are the popular Coronation Waltz, described by a local critic as ‘radiating pure electricity... without a drop of heavy Rhine wine’, Home Country Sounds with its fine horn solo sounding out like a sad call from afar to the beloved homeland, and the brilliant Vienna Carnival Quadrille, written in response to the new dance craze transplanted from Paris to Vienna.
