5.0 out of 5 stars Harnoncourt's New Years in Vienna 2001, March 7, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: New Year's Concert 2001 (Audio CD)
Mr. Harnoncourt, a former member of the Vienna Philharmonic, brings all his scholarship and nationality to this delightfully played Vienna New Years concert. His ear for the subtle contrasts and melodic possibilities makes for a scintillating and crystal clear presentation of music dear to the hearts of the performers and conductor. The finesse of playing, and delightful little touches make this a collection a must for those who appreciate this music. Everyone knows what they're doing, and they're having a grand time doing it.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of The Finest New Year's Day Concerts in Vienna, September 29, 2001
This review is from: New Year's Concert 2001 (Audio CD)
Without a doubt, this is one of the most intriguing collections of Strauss waltzes and other waltzes and polkas currently available. Musicologist and conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt is always ready to take a fresh look at timeless, venerable works such as Johann Strauss' Radetzky March, which opens and closes this two CD recording of the 2001 New Year's Day Concert at the Vienna Philharmonic's concert hall. Certainly this is a long overdue union between Harnoncourt and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra; Harnoncourt gives vibrant, spirited readings of classic Johann Strauss Junior works such as the "Blue Danue Waltz". Teldec has released another splendid live recording with first class sound quality. Those seeking one of the finest compilations of Strauss' music won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars interesting selection, March 14, 2001
This review is from: New Year's Concert 2001 (Audio CD)
I have been an avid follower of the Vienna New Year's Concert for many years, and especially since the conductors chance every year it has become a very intersting musical offering. One has to give Harnoncourt once again great credit for a highly interesting program selection. In the area of light viennese polka and waltz music there a many beaten paths and many favorites played to death. Harnoncourt uses his great knowledge and thoroughness to surprise listeners with different wonderful pieces every time he ventures into this genre. As a musical scholar and teacher one of his great themes is the musical dialogue, and in this collaboration with the Vienna Philharmonic (he used to be a cellist in this same orchestra), the dialogue is clearly working very well. My one issue with him once again is pace. Some of the pieces are a bit slow-footed and they loose their lightness in the process.
