Throughout his life, Eduard Strauss’s compositions were unfavourably compared with those by his elder brothers, Johann II (1825–1899) and Josef (1827–1870), yet many of his works, especially those dating from the 1870s and 1880s, easily stand comparison with those crafted by his two famous siblings. Moreover, in two particular dance genres – the quick polka and the galop – Eduard was in a class of his own. As the Strauss authority Professor Franz Mailer stated: ‘Posterity must make restitution to Eduard Strauss.’ It is to be hoped that, at the very least, this present recording will encourage a reassessment of ‘handsome Edi’s’ unique musical genius.
