Music reviews of New Year's Concert 2003

Music Review: perfect!
Rating: 5 Stars

This recording of the Wiener Philharmoniker's 2003 Concert conducted by Harnoncourt is excellent. This is a traditional and historical occasion. Harnoncourt really knows all-traditional dances (waltz, polka, czardas...) and his orchestra plays with emotion, impressive.

The concert opens with a majestic march,"The Jubilee March for return of Emperor franz Joseph I". After this fast prelude, the famous "Schatzwalzer" (Treasure Waltz) begins. And then there are two intermezzo-polkas : Niko-Polka and Scherz-Polka (especially the last is very interesting). And there is a waltz by brothr Josef Strauss: Delirien-Waltz. Harnoncourt says about Josef: I think, he is may be more romantic than Johann's. Josef paints like Turner, Johann paints like Caspar David Friedrich. And there is a guest-composer in the program of New Year Concert: Carl Maria von Weber and his famous "Invitation to the Dance" (originally for piano) with the succesful orchestration of Berlioz. And there are polkas again: Seconds-Polka and Hellenen-Polka.

At CD 2, begins with the celebratde "Emperor Waltz". This majestic and lovely waltz is one of my favourites. And then, there is brilliant and wonderful polka: Peasants' Polka. I will not say about the surprise of this polka! (But when you listen this, you will just love it!). And there is a unknown but very interesting and amazing galopp by Father Johann: Chinese-Galop.
And then, there is another and more famous guest-composer and very close friend of the "Waltz King": Johannes Brahms and his Hungarian Dances Nos. 5 in G-minor and No. 6 in B-falt major, orchestrated not by Dvorak, but by Friedrich Reichert, who the first orchestrator of these wondreful dances. And these versions discovered new, beacuse these are unpublishe manuscripts. And again a waltz: Coronation Songs. And the last polkas: famous "Light of Heart" and very nervous "Furioso-Polka". And the traditional encores beging with the New Year's Address of Harnoncourt and then, beautifully played "An der schönen Blauen Donau" and Father Johann's "Radetzky March" accompanied by claps the hands of the people, as usual! OK, but why this father Johann's Radetzky March played last and why the last piece doesn't of "the only rival of father" Johann II? Because, THE "FATHER" SAYS THE "LAST WORDS" USUALLY!!

This concert recorded reaaly excellent. I don't think about the critic, "this is not so gripping, if you weren't there". It is really worth-listening, without hesitation at all.

Highly recommended.
