Oscar Strauss — the Austrian operetta composer best known for 'The Chocolate Soldier' — conducting 'My Hero' and a Thalala polka on Decca K2306. A composer-conductor recording of his own operetta music is a specialist collector interest; the K-series Decca is a standard interwar pressing.AI summary
Decca K2306 Orchestra
Oscar Straus (the operetta composer, not the waltz dynasty) wrote both 'The Chocolate Soldier' (1908) and 'A Waltz Dream' (1907), his two biggest international hits. This Decca K-series coupling of orchestral selections from both shows probably dates from the late 1920s or early 1930s. Decca K-series orchestral pressings are plentiful and this is standard catalogue material.AI summary
