On the Beautiful Blue Danube (1867) by Johann Strauss, Jr. (1825-1899) This clip of "On the Beautiful Blue Danube" from the one-hour special "Rick Steves' Europe: A Symphonic Journey," celebrates the city of Vienna and the river that runs through it in the world's most famous waltz. In "Rick Steves' Europe: A Symphonic Journey" Rick teams up with the Cascade Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Michael Miropolsky, on a musical tour that begins in the USA, then touches down in seven different European countries. The result is a performance that combines Europe's most stirring Romantic-era anthems with beautiful high-definition cinematography and Rick's insights into European history.
