About this product
The Vienna Johann Strauss Orchestra can rightly claim to be one of the most authentic ensembles for interpreting the music of the Strauss dynasty. In 1966 - nearly 120 years after Johann Strauss I had founded the Strauss Orchestra, the great demand for high-quality interpretations of light music led a group of musicians in Vienna who belonged to the small ensemble of the Austrian Radio Orchestra to found the Vienna Johann Strauss Orchestra. The aim of new orchestra was to cultivate the music of the Strauss dynasty, together with so-called 'light' Viennese music. It was formed of fortytwo musicians, that it to say the ensemble was the same size as that which, according to authentic accounts, was preferred by the members of the Strauss family.

Idil Biret first made a professional recording in 1959 performing works by Brahms and Schumann. That moment led to a 75-year recording career, now collected in an enormous superset. These critically-acclaimed recordings won many awards, including the Grand Prix du Disque Frederic Chopin and Diapason d'Or. This set contains more than sixty works for piano and orchestra including all the major works as well as many concertos of Johann Sebastian Bach, Bartok, Prokofiev, Saygun, Schoenberg, Shostakovich and others. The complete solo piano works of Brahms, Chopin and Rachmaninoff are in the set as well as all the 32 Piano Sonatas by Beethoven, the 48 Preludes and Fugues of Johann Sebastian Bach and all the major solo works of Schumann and Liszt. There are many piano transcriptions by Liszt including Beethoven's nine symphonies, Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique and Harold in Italy, as well as Brahms' Third and Fourth Symphonies that Biret transcribed herself. This 'superset' commemorates both Idil Biret's 75th anniversary and her epic career on the concert stage over the last 70 years.
