I love the New Years concerts. They are always such great reminders of being able to hear them live many years ago. It's a nostalgic trip down Strauss lane.

New Year's Joy February 3, 2018

There are few things that are as much fun as listening to the Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Day concert. As usual, there is twice as much much on these discs as you hear in the TV broadcast. While the VPO could play most of these pieces in their sleep, they don't. They are at the top of their gain. And the inclusion of rarities is most welcome.

The New Year's Day concert is such a wonderful Viennese tradition. Listening to this two CD collection one instantly hears how the conductor and the ensemble were simply enjoying each other. Muti is held in very high regard by the Wiener Philharmoniker - this was his fifth invitation to conduct this concert. I watched it on PBS on New Year's day and you could see that both conductor and orchestra were thoroughly enjoying working with each other. Sound quality on the CD's is excellent. So...make yourself Kaffee mit Schlag, have a piece of Apfel Strudel and sit back and enjoy.
