Yesterday I was visiting this palace in Copenhagen which would have seen many a waltz in its time ...



Not long ago I wouldn't have touched a collection of Strauss Waltzes with an overlong barge-pole ...
I'm not sure why, but I now find them rather appealing.  Perhaps it's going to Vienna earlier in the year that has made me start to appreciate them.
They are certainly evocative of a very specific period of time and society ...

Can anyone else admit to being partial to a good waltz? 

I might be pushing my luck but if anyone knows of a good compilation do let me know.
