Joseph Lanner (1801-1843) Johann Strauss I eventually managed to secure a place in a local orchestra leading to his joining the popular Lanner Quartet formed by his would-be rival Joseph Lanner. Together they popularised Viennese waltzes and rustic German dances.
Composer of numerous operettas which are not remembered in the way those of Lehár and Kalman are, he recorded in Berlin and Vienna, but with the Symphony Orchestras not the Philharmonics, and for lesser recording companies (happy though RCA are to put them out now).
