A new year, more music !! At least i hope so :-)
As i have said a year ago i can't imagine beginning the year anywhere else than in Wien ( well, virtually at least ;-) and in rhythms of valse.
It may be old world tunes, but they are as beautiful as on they day the were first played and they make my heart sing and my feet want to dance. Because this is the Liszt year a wicked bit of valse from him to begin with and then some more "usual suspects" from this wonderful concert of the Wiener Philamoniker. This year under the baton of Franz Welser-Möst (an Austrian himself), who must have been more than thrilled to do this, on TV they mentioned he says this was kind of a Nobelprize in the music world :-)
By the way, if you ever fancy seeing the concert in Wien, they actually raffle the tickets! Here is how. The pdf links at the bottom of the article will guide you to the instructions in the appropriate language, Good luck!!! I might just try this out myself ;-)
And here is two more bits to slide you off dancing into the new year, may it be a good one for everyone!
