SALON DE VIENNE (BARTOK/BRAHMS/DVORAK/STRAUSS/KREISLER/LEHAR & MORE) - Thomas Albertus Imberger, Jorg Demus (Hybrid SACD)

This recording traces an arc from Romanian and Hungarian folk dances by Bartók and
Brahms; via waltzes by Johann Strauss Jr.; Richard Strauss Rosenkavalier Waltz; a song from
Des Knaben Wunderhorn by Gustav Mahler; and pieces by Lehár, Goldmark, and Janá cek
to evergreens such as Schön Rosmarin and Liebesleid by Fritz Kreisler. Thomas Albertus
Irnberger s brisk performance, with an assured sense of style, demonstrates how difficult it
is to draw the line between serious music, salon music, and entertainment music.
