Blue Danube -- Johann Strauss II

This is far and away the finest version I know of: Herbert von Karajan conducting the Vienna Philharmonic for the annual New Years Eve concert in Vienna in 1987. The video says it was recorded and released by Sony Classical, which is incorrect. It was recorded and released by Deutshe Grammophon. Never mine the weird ballet dancers.; who knows what the producers were thinking in the 1980s.

Divertimento, movement #7: Blues: Slow blues tempo -- Leonard Bernstein

This is a short little piece that doesn't make a lot of sense outside of the context of the larger piece, but frankly the Divertimento is more interesting for having been written by Bernstein than it is in its own right. Here's a version conducted by Pau Monfort Pitarch with the Unió Musical de Vilafranca (Musical Union of Villafranca). Thankfully, Bernstein has reached a stature where it's no longer the case that the only really good versions of Bernstein's works were the Bernstein performances.
