The musicologist, Alexander Weinmann, made these arrangements for Boskovsky and his colleagues in the Vienna Philharmonic: a select band of eight musicians. Together they journey in high spirits from late Mozart through Schubert and the always under-appreciated Joseph Lanner to some little-known gems of Johann Strauss the Elder (the ‘Exeter-Polka’ and ‘Tivoli-Rutsch Walzer’ among them) and even a tip of the hat to his son’s ‘Liebeslieder Walzer’.
A second Decca album fills out a picture of early nineteenth-century Vienna: ‘Dances and Romances’ of Beethoven, in which Boskovsky takes the solo violin parts with his renowned ease and sweetness of tone. This generous anthology is completed by another impeccably stylish chamber ensemble LP from the 1960s, I Musici playing Schubert at his most good-natured, including the expansive Rondo D438 which was the nearest he came to writing a violin concerto.
