(5 out of 5 stars)
"This CD begins with the Kakadu-Quadrille. This work shows us why most people consider Josef (Pepi) as the most gifted of the Strauss brothers. The waltzes Marien-klänge, Fantasiebilder and Wiegenlieder are as delightful as some Johann's famous works, like Artist's Life Waltz, Kiss-Waltz. The polkas (Thalia, Bauern-Polka), avialable on this CD, are good examples of the creativity of Josef's composition. Angelika (french-polka) and Etiquette (french-polka) are piquant masterpieces. The most delightful work is the quicky-polka Einslauf, which provides a beautfull portrait of the Skatting."
