Strauss always wrote happy, beautiful music, how could you stay sad listening to this? I close my eyes, a smile on my face as I sway from left to right in time with the music. I also use my hands and pretend I am conducting. Thank you Johann Strauss.
Admittedly, this is my favourite of all Strauss’ waltzes . Who couldn’t possibly picture dancing with someone they love when they hear this music? It’s delightful.
+Karen Malena I know. It is the one piece of music that I find myself breaking down in tears from. It's just such a beautiful composition. Always have a song like this in your heart. I'm sorry for your loss.
Karen, my dad has been gone for almost ten years. I heard this song yesterday for the first time in a while, and I swear I could hear my father humming and whistling along to it. Music has such power, doesn't it?
These musicians are very comfortable with this work and with Barenboim conducting, just as Barenboim is very comfortable with them as the work unfolds with its lyrical passages. Brief solo passages are masterful. Very nicely done by all.
I first heard this masterpiece many decades ago in the movie Emperor Waltz starring Bing Crosby. From then on I am haunted by amazing piece music. Thank you Johann Strauss.
I can listen to his music all day long and not worry about the time. It fills my soul with happiness that’s beyond explanation, it’s truly magical. Superb rendition!
Que yo tevuetde mis papás, mi hermana recien fallecida y mi cuñado ( qepd) todos, mi hernano, mi cuñada, mi esposa y yo somos de Strauss todos, y otros compositores clásicos, metecen la pena y calman los nervios y te hace sentir más rapido el corazón y que por muchos años sigan así hasta el día wue ne toque viajar al más allá. Que Dios Bendiga a todo el que lea éste mensaje, está hecho con mucho AMOR.
I really want to hear this live. Being live at an orchestra concert is mind blowing, the music fills your head and blasts you away. It's crazy and wonderful
I was fortunately enough to play this a couple years ago. I can confirm how much fun it is for that first crescendo to come blasting out of the entire group. Seeing the audience, whatever their thoughts about classical music, smile is a priceless moment.
I keep playing and replaying Strauss’ Emperor Waltz and it just gets better and better every time I listen to it. I live all my life listening to this music, pure perfection in every sense of the word.
Music of this calibre touches the heart, nourishes the soul and brings joy to even the lowliest of us, in the bleakest of times. In centuries to come, mankind will reach out, touch the stars, and we shall still be listening to and appreciating masterpieces such as this.
@@Belchmaster41 Have you listened to Mozart's concerto no.21 in C played by Vladimir Askenazy? Allegro at about 7 min. 35sec. or 7 min 53 sec. depending on which recording, but Holy cow, it's like having a religious experience. I'm partial to Mozart though.
I AM treating a Brain cancer and since I've began to gear this música three times a data, the cancer is loosing its size n I feel the heal os coming to me. SDG!
May God Bless You and Keep You, May He cause His Countenance to Smile upon you! I hope this finds you well, and may this forever beautiful music be your Victory Celebration!
I hope you are well. Sending you prayers for healing and restoration! I had colon cancer. I had surgery, chemo and chakra music. I am NED (no evidence of disease) now! Keep the faith!
Classic music it’s a gif from heaven, it’s so pure and beautiful. This song in special makes me feel so happy, I idealized a life with this music, I was born, I lived, I got married, I had a family, I did all my dreams came true, and finally I died but happy because, I lived a memorable life.
Con el sonido suave de los violines , se comienza con la interpretación musical , demostrando ser una marcha , con el sonido característico del clarinete, para luego centrarse en la interpretación de esta música que refleja el sentirse identificada con esas grandiosas fiestas , en los palacios, sin duda se vivifican todo lo bello de esa época , donde se vivía entre mirñaques y trajes de frac , maravilloso
@@rckli ikr! but i feel like elderly people (at least in my country) constantly think of younger ones as if less likely to care about stuff like this. anyways, thank you so much for recommending! 🤍
Can you imagine the waning days of Old Emperor Franz Joseph, after loosing his beloved wife Empress Elizabeth, his heir and son Rudolf and his brother Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico, contemplating the demise of the Habsburg Empire.

This Strauss waltz reminds me of the movie “Sissi Empress of Austria” (Sissi Emperatriz) or Empress Elisabeth of Austria , when she is dancing this waltz with her husband Emperor Franz Josef! Elisabeth of Austria is one of my favorite queens of all time! The movie based on her life was a 1950’s movie and I saw it when I was a child . What a gorgeous movie that was, absolutely exquisite! That’s when I fell in love with Strauss waltzes! Love them all. God bless the souls of all these geniuses great composers from a beautiful time where romance existed. I wish I could go back to that time just for a day.....Long live Johann Strauss and his waltzes and long live romance forever. I am the incurable romantic.....what can I say.
Maestro , que delicia escuchar VALS DEL EMPERADOR DE MIS QUINCE AÑOS EN 1956, Wow!!! Excellente !!! Incomparable !! BRAVOO!!! Maestro !!! Mil gracias y su Orquesta 🎶🎶🥰❤️ Hermosa interpretación cada uno me transportó ha hermosos recursos en la Cuidad de Mexuci🎶❤️ mil gracias nuevamente🎶🎶❤️🥰
Last time I was listening to this piece was on speaker at my work, everyone and their family loved it just so much. Turns out I had left my speaker in my office while I was on lunch break, by this time I was a few blocks away going to get my favorite lunch in the entirety of New York City. It also turns out that my speaker was still playing this song! And even two nearby airplanes couldn’t get enough of it and had to fly in close just to get a better listen. Not sure what happened to my speaker but this is such a great song!
Un vals impresionante y con una elegancia de esa época en que vivió, este gran compositor Strauss y la Austria que era la cuna de la cultura más importante de Europa.
I can't dance for my life, but this song appeals to my soul, and it makes me dream of learning to waltz and then go to Austria to dance it among the best... Well, dreaming is free, he he he
It doesn't have to be only a dream. You can turn it into reality with dancing lessons (seriously), then doing a bit of research on the various balls in Vienna to choose one or more to attend. Many are held between New Years and Ash Wednesday, and there are at least two big summer balls held in June. I'm turning my waltz dream to reality this January. Alles Walzer!
Senor Garcia, perhaps I can add some incentive. I've not yet met a woman that said no to dancing, particularly when told you want to show them off. Learn to dance, and meet the women your mother warned you about....
Eduardo Garcia to learn waltz, you need three skills: 1. be able to stand and walk 2. count to three 3. know your right and your left leg. 😉 Go for it!! 😌👍 💃
Very interesting piece. From solo at cello to full orchestra with accents of a ... march on a 3-beat ! The strings of the Berliner Philarmoniker are rich and tender, as usual.

Számomra ez a legelragadóbb performance. Sokszor megnéztem, és meghallgattam. Most újra megnézem, meghallgatom.Daniel Barenboim karmester minden részletre odafigyel, teljes szinkronban együttműködik a szimfonikus zenekarral. Olyan beleérzéssel alkotta meg ez az interpretációt, mintha Daniel Barenboim ereiben is "bécsi vér" folyna. :-) Árad belőle az életöröm, az elegancia. Csodálatosan szép lett, tisztelettel gratulálok. A fúvósok mellett szépen érvényesül a vonósok selymes hangszínű dallama is- az egész keringő fénylik, ragyog. Ez a darab gyönyörű, az egyik legszebb a J. Strauss keringők közül.
No way didn't see this coming at all from Barenboim. That timing, that tempo, that flow...plus the most touching cello and flute at the end...literally sent me straight to a complete meltdown of no return. Wow.
Saya orang Indonesia dan saya termasuk penggemar berat musik Waltz dan klasik terutama karya Johann Strauss seperti Blue Danube dan The last emperor waltz seperti yang dimainkan ini
The cello solo near the end is quite wistful, and the playing is sublime. A committed interpretation, but one expects nothing less from Maestro Barenboim and the Berlin Philharmonic.
HERMOSA MUSICA Y HERMOSA INTERPRETACION. PARA DISFRUTAR MOMENTOS BELLOS DE LA VIDA. RECUERDOS Y NOSTALGIA. PARA SOÑAR DESPIERTOS. GRACIAS Y FELICITACIONES.
One of the favourites from the King of Waltzes; Juhan Strauss, reminds always of my late Mother. She used to play it at home, using the Old Black Discs from “Deutsche Gramophone”, on the old Phillips automatic disc player that used to take ten discs and play them one by one, from the Good Old Days.
One of the things I love about this video is the movement of the musicians while they play. They aren't sitting at attention like soldiers, they're movin and swaying and feeling the music. Lovely to watch and glorious to listen.
Amo há décadas esta Maravilhosa Música ! Viajo no Tempo ,,, Para Universos Paralelos , como sempre ...Saudosismo de tempos em que ouvíamos Músicas de qualidade . Tinhamos disciplina " Música " na Escola .

remontandome a siglos atras, recordando a los antepasados de mis abuelos, pasando al pasado la nostalgia, el amor, romanticismo , y algun amor perdido. Para hacer volar la imaginacion y encontrarse en la epoca de los clasicos. me gusto este waltz el Emperador
This waltz was composed by Johann Strauss II in 1889 as a toast made in August of that year by Emperor of Austria Franz Joseph I on the ocassion of his visit to the German Emperor Wilhem II. It is one of the most famous waltzes ever composed.
Cada vez que escucho este vals me viene a la mente las películas que hizo Romy Schneider como “Sissi!, Sissi Emperatriz y Sissi Reina de Hungría”. En este vals es cuando Sissi era la emperatriz y baila con Francisco José este vals del emperador. Excelentes películas con estupendos actores que ya no se ven hoy en día. Me encanta este vals! Es fascinante escucharlo y me transporta a esa época tan maravillosa y romántica como Sissi! Fascinante, exquisita música para oír. Que Dios siempre bendiga a todos los genios de la música clásica y a Strauss por componer tan bellísimo vals. Que estén todos en la gloria! ♥️♥️💕♥️👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏🙌👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌
