Splendid selection of Viennese waltzes played with great gusto by Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Ah, those fabulous Strauss Waltz's performed to near perfection by Fritz Reiner conducting the CSO. Transferred from the original 3-track session masters gives new insight into the real dynamic contrasts that make this a real Living Stereo recording.
