Clemens Krauss New Year Concert 1952 on Spotify

Happy New Year! First post of 2015 and we go back to… 1952 :-)

On a Decca Eloquende 2CD with the Johann Strauß Jr operetta „die Fledermaus”, I recognized that the extra tracks on that CD were taken from the Vienna New Years concert of 1952, originally issued on a Decca LP LXT 2645. The order of the tracks did not match the LP, however, so I re-arranged the order of the tracks so it fits the original vinyl again.

Josef Strauß - Mein Lebenslauf Ist Lieb Und Lust
Josef Strauß - Die Liebelle
Josef Strauß - Jockey
Johann Strauß Jr. - Im Krapfenwald'l
Johann Strauß Jr. - Eljen A Magyar
Johann Strauß Jr. - G’schichten Aus Dem Wiener Wald
Johann Strauß Jr. -  Pizzicato Polka
Johann Strauß Jr. - Agyptischer Marsch
Johann Strauß Jr. - Vergnugungszug

Nice performances by Clemens Krauss and the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra, 
and fine mono recording by Decca! 

Hope you will enjoy these tracks!
