Neujahrskonzert 2021 / New Year's Concert 2021 - Riccardo Muti

It was an extremely successful and a very special musical start to the New Year 2021 that will go down in history. The Vienna Philharmonic, undoubtedly the best orchestra in the world for this repertoire, presented a cheerful and at the same time contemplative program with waltzes, dances and polkas from the rich repertoire of the Johann Strauss dynasty and their contemporaries - the circumstances under the direction of Riccardo Muti at the turn of the year. for this year for this year without Audience. The Vienna Philharmonic and Riccardo Muti provided the highest musical level in the festively decorated Golden Hall. The start was lively with Franz von Suppès "Fatinitza-Marsch", the "Schallwellen-Waltz" by Johann Strauss and the "Niko-Polka" from the pen of Josef Strauss. Even with the following polkas "Without Worry", the "pit light waltz" by Carl Zeller and Karl Millöcker's gallop "In Saus and Braus", orchestra and conductor impressively demonstrated how excellent they understand: "Everything sounds quite natural, natural, sophisticated and beautiful", so wrote the Viennese courier. It became particularly varied after the break with Suppès Overture to "Poets and Farmer" and the waltz "Bad'ner Mad'ln" (first in the New Year's Concert) by Karl Komzák. Mutis and the orchestra's interpretation of the "Margherita-Polka" by Josef Strauss, the "Venetian Gallop" or the famous spring voice waltz by Johann Strauss were also outstanding. The Polka "Im Krapfenwaldl", the "Neue Melodies Quadrille", the "Kaiser Waltz", the Polka "Stürmisch in Lieb und Tanz" as well as the Danube waltz and the obligate Radetzky March were also heavenly music. And at the Radetzky March then actually sounded applause, digitally played by 7000 people who had previously registered on the Internet for the orchestra and the conductor live.

Muti and the Vienna Philharmonic are an absolute unit, . a feast of the ears. The New Year concert will go into the annals in an artistic and historical point of view. (The Courier)
