Music reviews of Music from Old Vienna
Music Review: Two violins, a G clarinet and a bass guitar playing waltzes
Rating: 5 Stars
This is another one of those Naxos discs that you don't expect, but when you hear it you think: Yes, this is it! Recorded in 1988 at the studios of the Czech recording company Opus, this disc presents music as played towards the end of the 19th century in Vienna by the Schrammel Quartet, a group which became world-famous playing a G clarinet, a bass guitar (thirteen strings and two necks!) and two violins. The music was lost for almost 80 years before being re-discovered in manuscript form by two Viennese professors; here it is played by the Thalia-Schrammeln, a quartet made up of graduates of the Vienna Musikhochschule and who have made it their task to play this music in its original form (as far as this is available), even wearing the traditional clothing during their performances (see the cover illustration). Of course, this is not "serious" music, although apparently Brahms, among others, was enamoured of it; mostly it sounds like a "pop" version of Johann Strauss Jr. with plenty of waltzes, polkas and marches, and for the uninitiated it is quite difficult to tell the pieces apart. But the recorded performance sounds really cute and definitely conveys that light-hearted, sassy Vienna feeling; the engineering is impeccable.
