Strauss: The Waltz King
Lesley Garrett narrates a drama documentary that tells the compelling story of the waltz and the bitter father and son rivalry behind it.
The original 'dirty dancing' became a century-long craze, but behind it was a bitter tale of father and son rivalry. Lesley Garrett narrates this drama documentary, steps onto the dance floor - and even tries on the period underwear. The compelling story is illustrated with the music of the time, played by the Wiener Akademie orchestra in Vienna's sumptuous Hofburg Palace.
