recorded @ Opera House Qatar on 02.March 2014 all Musik arranged by Oliver Schmidt. Orchestra Preparation by Tilo Heinrich Wien, Wien, nur du allein (Austria), opus 1 (1912) Sieczynski, a civil servant born and bred in Vienna, was also active as a writer and composer; he was the president of the Austrian composers' association in the 1920s, 1930s and late 1940s. He has not many compositions to his name, but his Opus 1 proved to be an international and enduring hit. Wien, Wien, nur du allein (Vienna, City of My Dreams), a serenade to the city of waltz, is arguably the most famous Wienerlied. It was written with a melancholy eye turned towards the past, and indicates perhaps that, to a certain extent, time stands still in Vienna.
