Mnozil Brass: Strau$$ - A little dance between the chairs

For more than thirty years now, the seven musicians have been moving back and forth between Johann Strauss and Frank Sinatra, between Shostakovich and Prince or even passionately from Schubert to their Queen cousins with the greatest of ease and their flashing wind instruments. She cares as little for the solemn grandeur of the one as she does for the supposed banality of the other. But Strauss - whom Brahms, Wagner and Verdi, as well as the craftsmen and the girls from the suburbs (and even a Gershwin) adored - was the forefather of nonchalant dalliance between the chairs. Strauss was the first to produce hits by the meter, he hired an arranger so that he could work faster and realized that together with his brothers he could reproduce his sound worldwide. He was the first to undercut E and U and became a mass phenomenon as the Waltz King - the tills never rang sweeter. In Strau$$, Mnozil Brass really reveal everything about Strau$$. Even the last thing. In the end, all that remains is the naked truth.
