Many Versions of The Blue Danube Waltz (mp3s)

Last April, we posted a version here of Johann Strauss' Blue Danube Waltz from a great 1980's Belgian experimental compilation called An Der Shonen Blauen Donau. The indifference of the masses was overwhelming, so without further ado, here's the whole damn compilation:

48 Cameras - Dead Waters   |   Bene Gesserit - Bathroom Sunday Morning

Det Wiehl - Gondless   |  Dieter P - A Corpse For Mermaids

Dissidents - An Der Shonen Blauen Donau

Dr. Finne C Renfer - Cher Johann   |   FAR - Il Bel Danubio Blu Notte

Fuoko - Black Wine For Dear Mr. Strauss   |   Guido - Ad Vienne Qui Pourra

Kaoru Todoroki - An Der Shonen Blauen Donau Utsukushiki Aoki Donau

Klimperei - El Be Debe   |   Les Souplards Torves - An Der Shonen Blauer Donau

Lieutenant Caramel - Untitled   |   Look de Bouk - Dix Selections Du Fleuve

Pilvarta Kopilmop - Bla Ble Bli Blo Bla   |   Pilvarta Kopilmop - Blu Blo Bli Ble Bla

Rainer Linz - Disrythmic Etude   |   TUF - Blue Danube

And since I am feeling particularly under water today, here's a few more versions of the Blue Danube Waltz:

Guckenheimer Sauerkraut Band   |   Bill Boyd and The Cowboy Ramblers

Comedian Harmonists   |   Michael Nyman

Two of my favorite player piano rolls are these super-pianistic versions of the
"Blue Danube Arabesques, Strauss/Schulz-Evler played by Josef Lhevinne c"
and
"Blue Danube Arabesques, Strauss/Schulz-Elver played by Rosita Renard"
here automagically transcribed into MIDI files, thanks to the Mechanical Music Digest.

How cruel of you to post these right after that greasy lunch. Shame on you.

Next: Myriad renditions of Also Sprach Zarathustra? Or maybe Death and Transfiguration.
