Info for Jugendfeuer (Historical Recording - Remastered)

Verdi called Johann Strauss II a ‘colleague and genius’, while Johannes Brahms admitted that of all his fellow composers he was ‘the only one I envy’. From the remotest parts of South America to the large concert halls of Japan, people in all parts of the world are still enthralled by the ‘fascination of Strauss’.

This digital remastered album – recorded by the leading Strauss ensemble with an authentic orchestra of 42 musicians – provides proof that this music is as full of life and genius and as up to date as ever.

In addition to the newly released CDs, the Vienna Johann Strauss Orchestra has set itself the goal of maintaining historically valuable recordings with the most important conductors of the past 55 years. The present recording from the 1970s is a testament to the liveliness efforts.

Walter Goldschmidt (1917-1986)
As head of operetta at the Opera Graz, Walter Goldschmidt was a particularly versatile artist. He played several instruments and passed the final examination for composition and conducting at the Academy in Vienna with distinction. He began his career as a solo répétiteur at the Opera Graz, then became director of studies and finally first operetta conductor with an opera engagement. In addition, he worked at many festivals, such as in Bregenz and Mörbisch, at the Wiener Festwochen, as well as at festivals in Switzerland, in Monte Carlo and Madrid. Walter Goldschmidt met for the first time in 1967 during a record production with the Vienna Johann Strauss Orchestra. He led the big USA-Canada tour in 1973 as well as the Canada tour in 1976. The Operetta Festival in Innsbruck as part of the “Tyrolean Summer” from 1978 - 1979 and his numerous productions for Austrian radio also contributed to the quality and reputation of the orchestra.
