Joseph Lanner and Johann Strauss I (1804-49), who played the violin in Lanner's quintet and orchestra until 1825, adapted traditional German country dances and fashioned them into the waltz, the Viennese dance par excellence. They also took up the galoppade, a dance favoured by previous generations and from 1835 began to widen the scope of their compositions by including the Parisian quadrille and the Bohemian polka. By 1830 the fashionable dance floors of the western world were dominated by Viennese popular rhythms and melodies, first and foremost amongst them those of the Viennese waltz. The sons of Johann Strauss I extended the tradition established by Lanner and their father by bringing the waltz into the field of symphonic music. As the years went by, the triumphs of the Strauss dynasty increasingly obscured Lanner's achievement - unfairly, as this CD shows
