内容介绍 《2003新年音乐会》The 2003 New Year's concert by the Vienna Philharmonic marked Nikolaus Harnoncourt's second outing as conductor of the traditional event. He was an able and appropriate choice as guest conductor, having expanded his repertoire to the operettas of Johann Strauss Jr. in the 1990s. In this concert, in addition to the annual favorites, he chose to add four pieces by Strauss family members that had never been performed at the New Year's concerts (although the notes do not say which tracks these are), Weber's "Invitation to the Dance," and two of Brahms' "Hungarian Dances." The Weber fits in nicely given its generally granted status as the first episodic waltz written and its rich orchestration by Berlioz, which is contemporary with the works of Johann Strauss Sr. The Brahms dances are also an appropriate sidelight given their gypsy themes and Brahms' friendship with Johann Jr. The concert begins with restraint, as the orchestra takes a few tracks to settle in. By track seven, the Weber, it has loosened up. On disc two, which contains slightly faster-paced works, the enthusiasm of Harnoncourt and the musicians is more evident, as is that of the audience, especially in the traditional close to the concert with the "Radetzky March." If not a totally rousing performance, it is still a toe-tapping, worthwhile edition of the annual concert. ——Patsy Morita, Rovi CD1 Johann Strauss Ⅱ 01 Kaiser-Franz-JosephⅠ Rettungs Jubel Marsch 02 Schatzwalzer 03 Niko Polka 04 Scherz Polka Josef Strauss 05 Delirien 06 Pele-mele C M Von Weber/Berlioz 07 Aufforderung Zum Tanz Johann StraussⅡ 08 Secunden 09 Hellenen Polka CD2 Johann StraussⅡ 01 Kaiser-Walzer 02 Bauern Polka 03 Lob der Frauen Johann StraussⅠ 04 Chineser Galopp Johannes Brahms 05-06 Ungarische Tanze Nr 5&6 Johann StraussⅡ 07 Kronungslieder 08 Leichtes Blut 09 Furioso Polka 10 New Year's Address 11 An der Schonen Blauen Donau Johann StraussⅠ 12 Radetzky Marsch |
