Eduard Strauss was overshadowed by his more famous elder siblings Johann II and Josef but his music from the
1870s and 1880s easily stands comparison with theirs, and in the dance genres of the quick polka and the galop
he was in a class of his own. These world premiere recordings of ‘handsome Edi’s’ music include the beguiling
waltz Freie Gedanken or ‘Free Thoughts’ written for the ‘Hesperus’ Artists’ Association, and the charming polkamazurka
Schmeichelkätzchen (‘Little Flatterer’), which was popular enough with Viennese audiences to be reprised
throughout that season. Volume 1 of this edition (8.225369) was considered ‘energetic and beautiful’ by the
American Record Guide.
