Recorded live on October 26, 2016 in the Golden Hall of the Wiener Musikverein.
Synopsis:
In the fall of 1889, Johann Strauss (Sohn) was invited to conduct a number of his own compositions at several festivals on the occasion of the opening of the new Berlin establishment "Königsbau" in the former "Poduktenbörse".
He was granted generous terms and provided him with an orchestra of 100 men.
It tempted the Waltz King to perform once again in the metropolis on the Spree and, moreover, in such a noble setting. Strauss (Sohn) therefore wrote a new composition for these concerts, for which he chose the title "Hand in Hand". This should probably point to the good relations between Vienna and Berlin. Corresponding to the festive occasion, Johann Strauss (Sohn) wrote a large-scale waltz with an introduction, the beginning of which was perceived as "Prussian." All the more Viennese was the following waltz. Before the work was played for the first time, an important political event took place in Berlin:
Emperor Franz Joseph paid a visit to Kaiser Wilhelm II. On this occasion, the alliance between Austria-Hungary and the German Reich was solemnly summoned.
Probably this imperial meeting in Berlin offered the suggestion to give the new waltz by Johann Strauss (son) the title "Kaiser-Walzer".
The premiere of the work took place under the direction of the composer on October 21, 1889 in Berlin's "Königsbau". The Vienna premiere followed on 24th November in the Golden Hall of the Musikverein. Johann Strauss (Sohn) performed his masterpiece even in the hometown itself to the audience.
In both cases, there was a complete success. The special rank of the festive composition was immediately recognized, and at the same time it remained in the future.

I notice that most of the audience are middle-age or older folks (like me). When I attended a concert at the Musikverein a few years ago, at least half the audience consisted of younger people (largely Asian). There's hope!

Wir hatten Karten für Neujahr 2021 mit Ricardo Muti. Das Konzert hatte den Kaiserwalzer im Programm, den wir so sehr lieben. Leider konnte das Konzert wegen Covid19 nicht vor Publikum stattfinden. Wir waren dann 2023 da bei Franz Welser-Möst, auch sehr sehr schön, aber bedauerlicher Weise ohne den Kaiserwalzer. Dennoch, einmal im Leben dieses Konzert gesehen zu haben, ist schon wunderbar. Man kann eben leider nicht alles haben.

[@jimmcdonald7863]

oh my what music.................one of my favorite Strauss waltz....written for the Emperor at the time

[@johnblahuta6904]

Actually eventually dedicated to TWO emperors, Franz Joseph I and Wilhelm II at a visit by Franz Joseph. Strauss (Fritz Simrock, der Herausgeber von Strauss machte den Vorschlag) did not want to offend one of the 2.!! Original war der Walzer "Hand in Hand" genannt, aber 1889 wurde er in Kaiserwalzer umbenannt (das Jahr der Komposition) und im August des selben Jahres in Berlin uraufgefuehrt.
