Strauß Festival of Elk Grove (Sacramento), July 24, 2010 Viennese Waltz of Johann Sr., Johann Jr., Josef and Eduard Strauss under the Californian Sky, a local event with a great response. Idea for the festival conceived by Iris Zimbelman, who was impressed by the greatly visited Strauss Festivals in Vienna and decided to create a similar event in California. Visitors are aplenty!
The performance ended like last year with the "Blue Danube" and the "Radetzky March,"
what is mostly the only composition of Johann Strauss the Elder performed these days.
However, we think that this does not do justice to many excellent compositions
of Johann Strauss (and Josef Lanner as well!). His son, Johann Strauss Jr. ("Stani")
eclipsed him in both scope of composition, and in fame! |
