About The Strauss Family

Two generations of genius are brought to life in this lavish eight-part British miniseries about one of the most talented musical families in history. THE STRAUSS FAMILY spans 85 years and chronicles the rise of Johann Strauss Sr. from his humble beginnings to becoming one of the most famous musicians in Europe. But at the height of his success a series of scandalous love affairs estrange him from his wife and prodigiously talented son Johann Jr. Father and son soon become fierce rivals in the musical and political worlds of nineteenth-century Austria. THE STRAUSS FAMILY follows the advancing career of the younger Strauss as he achieves even greater fame as Vienna s Waltz King celebrated even today for the Blue Danube waltz and Die Fledermaus.With a superb cast including Emmy-award winner actors Derek Jacobi (Anastezsi) and Jane Seymour (Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman) and glorious renditions of the Strauss s works by the London Symphony Orchestra THE STRAUSS FAMILY is a dramatic family saga of tragedy and triumph.System Requirements:Running Time: 408 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA/BIOGRAPHY UPC: 733961105964 Manufacturer No: AAAE105960 Product Description

I ordered this movie last year. I remember watching it on TV and was really looking forward to it arriving. It never did, and numerous e-mails to both the seller and Amazon yeilded no results. January 5, 2008

Best renditions of Strauss music

The story is a little soapy, the acting just okay, but this mini-series has the most glorious renditions of the Strauss family's music you will find. It should be a CD so you might as well buy the video. September 26, 2001
