The Philharmonics, the ensemble founded by members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, fill the Café Sperl with some of the most authentically Viennese sounds imaginable – the Strauss waltzes that Schoenberg, Berg and Webern arranged and performed in May 1921 to raise funds for their pioneering “Society for Private Musical Performances”. This is music the players have in their blood, and they maintain the echt atmosphere with Godowsky’s tribute to the city, “Alt-Wien” and a clutch of Kreisler gems, rounding the programme off with a new piece by the ensemble’s leader Tibor Kováč, based on traditional Jewish melodies and Mahler themes, “Yiddische Mame”. BONUS: How Schoenberg came to arrange waltzes by Strauss Picture Format Blu-ray: Full HD Sound Formats Blu-ray: DTS HD Master Audio, PCM Stereo Region Code: 0 (worldwide) Running Time: 64:20 min Running Time Bonus: 10:05 min Disc Format: BD 25 FSK: 0 “the DVD itself is a colourful evocation of old Vienna that admirably demonstrates the power of DVD to add positively to what one merely hears on CD...The five Strauss waltzes are proficiently played and idiomatically phrased...the whole represents an altogether admirable demonstration of how DVD can combine enlightenment and pleasure to joyous effect.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2012 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

The annual New Year’s Concert from Vienna, seen by millions on TV worldwide, is the best-known classical concert in the world. Georges Prêtre returns to Vienna’s illustrious Musikverein to conduct a compelling programme that combines adored classics with no less than four intriguing premieres. Idolized in Vienna, the legendary French maestro, Georges Prêtre (who first came to eminence for his recordings with the great Maria Callas) is a leading expert on and interpreter of the music of the Strauss family. “The Vienna Philharmonic is...famously peerless in Strauss family music, and in the end it's their inimitable combination of grace, incisiveness and intuitive rhythmicality that leaves the truly abiding impression...the list of special moments is truly a long one.” BBC Music Magazine, April 2010 ***** “Georges Prêtre, 85, the first Frenchman to take on this hallowed tradition, is in intoxicating form” The Observer, 7th February 2010 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
