Johann Strauss II (October 25, 1825 - June 3, 1899), also known as Johann Strauss, Jr., the Younger, the Son (German: Sohn), Johann Baptist Strauss, was an Austrian composer of light music, particularly dance music and operettas. He composed over 500 waltzes, polkas, quadrilles, and other types of dance music, as well as several operettas and a ballet. In his lifetime, he was known as "The Waltz King", and was largely then responsible for the popularity of the waltz in Vienna during the 19th century.
Some of Johann Strauss' most famous works include "The Blue Danube", "Kaiser-Walzer", "Tales from the Vienna Woods", and the "Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka". Among his operettas, Die Fledermaus and Der Zigeunerbaron are the best known.

Thank you Tom and Jerry for introducing me to this wonderful piece. I wouldn't have found out about this if I never watched the cartoon, this overture will forever have a special place in my heart.

[@Coyoteyiphowl]

Unless you're educated about good music. Nothing to do with Tom and Jerry. This is Johann Strauss, perfect music!!! Make your own music in America!!!

[@TrollMeister_]

You should thank T&J for the Hungarian Rhapsody No 2 too.

[@Coyoteyiphowl]

Typical American!! I know that song without watching Tom and Jerry!!!!

[@Pheebsjpn]

Thank you, Tom & Jerry for introducing this masterpiece! 💝

[@abashidze08]

Literally No one can play Strauss like Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, others just pass by the right tunes ❤️

[@matthewwalsh7813]

Listening to Wiener Philharmoniker play Fledermaus is like listening to a Spaniard play Flamenco or a Black American sing Gospel. Centuries of culture. It's untouchable by those who weren't born into it. I envy them all.

[@GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

So powerful... no way to describe. All you can do is sit.. and listen .. and smile. And for just a moment, all is right with the world.

I love this overture, you can’t help but smile listening to J. Strauss II’ music !

[@jaybee106]

What a setting and what an orchestra - bravo Maestro Mehta! It had me dancing around the room.

[@notaddicted7508]

Extremely skilled orchestra and beautiful melody... now my room becomes a stage in Vienna

[@filip8689]

is nobody mentioning the fact that the man at 0:34 who is playing the melody looks exact way like the cat does in the tom and jerry episode?

[@Boccaccio1811]

Damn, that piccolo playing at 8:17 was flawless!

[@rudyalvarez551]

Excellent performance . The best I heard and I saw this operetta at least half a dozen times . Maestro Zubin Mehta was superb . Bravo !!! . Thanks . Todo .

[@GiratinaGX]

5:59 You can almost hear that bus

[@simonkawasaki4229]

Despite the output of Johann Strauss II, which rarely went past popular dance music and operetta, the man was a savant of theory and orchestration, especially evident in this overture!

[@lonebeagle]

BRAVO piccolo soloist! Remember, Mehta studied at the Vienna Academy. My violin teacher, Haig Balian, was his room mate. They both were with the L.A. Phil back in the day.

[@alexv3357]

Beautiful, richly textured, and unhurried in delivery. I love it

[@Coyoteyiphowl]

Just amazing!!! Bravo!!!👏👏👏👏

[@zaidamjad1923]

[@FrozenDragon0630]

Out of all of them that have been played this one is probably the best one out of all of them it also gives such a good reminder of the tom n Jerry episode the holly wood bowl.

[@sybil-charlenemicon-nicht9534]

C’est magnifique, le directeur musical fascinant, merci beaucoup 🇫🇷❤️🙏🎼🎶🎵🎻

[@tommilano2000]

Fine piccolo playing! Although, I wouldn't mic it; the instrument is already naturally loud. Also, I love how I hear a true ensemble instead of a lot of individuals playing. The Vienna Philharmonic really knows how to play like one instrument.

[@pamelalawrence1704]

I love this. So beautiful.
