Other than some useful booklet notes, the DVD has no special features, and the sound is offered only in Dolby Digital 2.0 and PCM stereo. This is presumably due to the difficulties associated with outdoor acoustics and live recording, which nearly prevented the concert going ahead. The anamorphically enhanced picture generally makes the most of the spectacular location, having such a clarity in the close-ups that it is virtually possible to count the hairs on the musicians' heads. --Gary S. Dalkin, Amazon.co.uk

Customer Reviews of Johann Strauss Gala - An Evening of Polka, Waltz, and Operetta
Maybe Cleveland style, but not Yankovic This CD just doesn't have the umpf of Yankovic, or Lipovac. The beat is a little too slow, and lacks the toe-tapping beat. The songs are redundant, bland, and boring. Growing up in Pueblo, CO, in the Slovenian area, and attending numerous polka dances with Yankovic, Seibert, and Lipovac, I was hoping for that kind of music that makes you want to dance. This CD just makes you want to take it back.
Joy with a Tip of Regret
The audio and video are of top quality. However, in the video several shots are repeated. Having the splendid city of Viena as a background other shots could have enriched the event. Also, having Carreras as a main figure I had expected more performances from him from the very beginning. My rate of 4 is due basically to what in my opinion are slight drawbacks.

The best and only DVD of Johann Strauss that I know
This Video of Johann Strauss is just GREAT. It even has the menu in english, spanish, french and japanesse. The Music is great and the scenary could not be better since it is in front of some famous palace in Vienna. It is a live concert with a very special director and very great musicians. The selections used in this video are fablous, since they include marches, polkas, and, of course, waltez. I can also say that one of the violinist is a decendant from Johann Strauss; I am guessing this because it is the only explination to the treatment that he received by everybody: musicians and public. The sound is fantastic and the video is great with all those fantastic takes of the palace and statues arroung the palace. It is a great performance of the music by Strauss in the perfect scenary. And how it is custom already, the video ends with the worlwide known Redesky March by Johann Strauss Senior. You MUST buy this DVD because is just great.
