Does bankruptcy have its entertaining side? In 1921 at least, to rescue their Society for Musical Private Performances from insolvency, Alban Berg, Anton Webern, and Arnold Schönberg penned adaptations of Johann Strauss's most popular waltzes. The benefit concert and the following auction of their scores were very successful, and while the society in the end could not be the saved, the four waltz scores have survived.

The Thomas Christian Ensemble of Vienna has now brought together these unusual arrangements for the first time on CD, together with contemporary arrangements by Manfred Trojahn and Hans-Peter Dott.
