New love song waltzes sung by the BBC Singers
Conductor, Leslie Woodgate
At the piano, John Wills and Winifred Davey
Brahms's fifteen ' New love song waltzes' were composed in 1874, six years after the first set of ' Love Songs', which won immediate popularity. Like these, the words of the ' New love song waltzes ' are Daumer's translations and imitations of foreign folk poetry, Turkish, Russian, Polish, Spanish, Persian, Serbian, etc.
Despite Brahms's often expressed admiration for Strauss, these waltzes are modelled more on the old Landler or Country Dances than on the more sophisticated Viennese waltzes which evolved from them.
