Neujahrskonzert 2024 / New Year's Concert 2024 / Concert du Nouvel An 2024

Christian Thielemann

Classical - Released January 12, 2024 | Sony Classical

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions Choc de Classica
One has to hand it to Sony Classical, which placed this performance, given on January 1, 2024, on streaming services by January 12. This year's conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic's New Year's Concert, which is sold out so far in advance that one has to register a year in advance even to get into the ticket drawing, was Christian Thielemann, making his second appearance at the concert (the first was in 2019). Thielemann is best known for the likes of massive things like Bruckner symphonies and Wagner operas, which might seem to make him an unlikely choice for the festive Neujahrskonzert, but actually, he proves to be fully up to the task. True, the concert is a bit like what one might expect from Thielemann. Eduard Strauss' Polka schnell Ohne Bremse ("Without Brakes"), Op. 238, does, in fact, seem to have some brakes, and Josef Strauss' Delirien Waltz, Op. 212, is never quite delirious. Thielemann even brings in his beloved Bruckner in the form of an orchestral arrangement of the piano four-hands Quadrille, WAB 121, but this is actually effective and sounds fresh. The same is true of a New Year's piece from Denmark, Glædeligt Nytaar, of Hans Christian Lumbye. Best of all, Thielemann delivers a really rousing Strauss II An der schönen blauen Donau ("The Beautiful Blue Danube"), Op. 314, phrased so that it sounds a bit like an operatic scene. In general, Thielemann succeeds here in giving the people what they want (as evidenced by the album's appearance on classical best-seller charts in early 2024), with many standards by members of the Strauss family and others, a few novel pieces, and plenty of Viennese spirit.© James Manheim /TiVo

Neujahrskonzert 2023 / New Year's Concert 2023 / Concert du Nouvel An 2023

Franz Welser-Möst

Classical - Released January 6, 2023 | Sony Classical

Hi-Res Booklet
The programme for the famed Neujahrkonzert (chosen by Franz Welser-Möst, the guest conductor for 2023, and the musicians from the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra) has been completely renewed in such a way as to remain faithful to the purest Viennese musical tradition. It features four waltzes and as many polkas by Josef Strauss, surrounded by other works by the Strauss family and little-known pieces by Carl Michael Ziehrer, Franz von Suppé and Joseph Hellmesberger.With their impeccable attire, unflappable sincerity and a few knowing smiles, the Philharmonikers surpass themselves, as they always do. Broadcast live by a hundred radio and television stations worldwide, they treat the concert with exceptional care and precision. Welser-Möst’s discreet and jovial direction is reminiscent of the time Willi Boskovsky’s easy-going face brightened the television on New Year’s Day.In addition to the 14 works performed for the first time at the Neujahrkonzert, the 2023 session offered another novelty: the much-lauded presence of the girls alongside the boys from the Wiener Sängerknaben (Vienna Boys’ Choir). Together, they sang ‘Heiterer Muth (Cheerful courage)’, a French polka by Joseph Strauss, much to the audience’s delight. © François Hudry/Qobuz

New Year's Concert 2019 (Neujahrskonzert 2019, Concert du Nouvel An 2019)

Christian Thielemann

Symphonic Music - Released January 7, 2019 | Sony Classical

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions 5 de Diapason
Like every year, the Vienna Musikverein welcomes the musicians of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra to its great hall! German conductor Christian Thielemann will be the man with the baton for the traditional 2019 New Year concert, which will open with Carl Michael Ziehrer’s Schönfeld Marsch op.422. Named as musical director of the imperial court balls in 1907, putting an end to the Strauss dynasty’s tenure in this position, Ziehrer wrote around 600 compositions for orchestra (waltzes, polkas, marches etc.) and 23 operettas, including the Schönfeld Marsch. Named as the head of the Viennese orchestra for the first time, succeeding many renowned conductors (from Daniel Barenboim to Lorin Maazel, Nikolaus Harnoncourt or Gustavo Dudamel), Thielmann is familiar with the Strauss dynasty’s repertoire - he recorded (amongst others) An Alpine Symphony, Op. 64 and Der Rosenkavalier (The Knight of the Rose) in March 2011 with the Wiener Philharmoniker. For this concert, which is broadcast in 92 countries, he leads the most beautiful of repertoires from the Strauss era (Künstlerleben op. 316, Die Tänzerin. Polka française op. 351, Lob der Frauen. Polka Mazur, op. 315…). © Sandra Dubroca/Qobuz

Neujahrskonzert 2021 / New Year's Concert 2021 / Concert du Nouvel An 2021

Riccardo Muti

Classical - Released January 8, 2021 | Sony Classical

Hi-Res Booklet
The most festive and popular classical music event of the year took on a dark and desolate tone on the first day of 2021. Only the stiff and frozen caryatids attended the traditional New Year's Concert in the magnificent Golden Hall of the Musikverein in Vienna. In normal times, it would have been held in front of a large audience to celebrate Viennese music, as well as the double anniversary of Maestro Riccardo Muti's eightieth birthday and the famous concert that had first taken place under the direction of Clemens Krauss in 1941.Fatinitza-Marsch, Schallwellenwalzer, Niko-Polka, Polka Ohne Sorgen ("carefree"), Grubenlichterwalzer, Im Saus und Braus, Bad'ner Mad'Inwalzer: for his sixth New Year's Concert in Vienna, Muti had chosen a programme whose originality was welcomed. It culminated in a nod to his native country with the dashing Neue Melodien-Quadrille, composed in 1861 by Johann Strauss Jr. on arias from several Italian operas: Rigoletto, La Traviata, Le Trouvère by Verdi, Lucia di Lammermoor and La Fille du Régiment by Donizetti, and La Sonnambula by Bellini.With his mind fully immersed in his score, Riccardo Muti found it hard to shake off his stern and solemn attitude before giving a smile to his musicians and the music that softened the strange atmosphere of this pandemic era New Year's Concert. © François Hudry/Qobuz

New Year's Concert 2018 / Neujahrskonzert 2018 / Concert du Nouvel An 2018

Riccardo Muti

Classical - Released January 5, 2018 | Sony Classical

Hi-Res Booklet
With nearly five hundred waltzes, marches, quadrilles, polkas and so on in Johann Strauss’ son’s repertoire, it is no wonder that the world-famous Vienna New Year’s Concert - conducted on the 1st January by Riccardo Muti, who is no newcomer to the event since he has led the orchestra in 1993, 1997 2000 and 2004 - still finds new pieces for their “New Year’s Concert creations”. This year, it’s Brautschau op. 417 and Myrthenblüten op. 395. Further novelties come from the Viennese cirlce: father Johann Strauss, with Marienwalzer and Wilhelm-Tell-Galopp, Alfons Czibulka (1842–1894) who kicks off the New Year with Stephanie-Gavotte, as well as a work from Josef Strauss, Wiener Fresken. And of course, as tradition goes, we find The Blue Danube and the inevitable Radetzky March to which the audience applauds in rhythm. By the way, this comes from J. Strauss the father, not from his more famous son. In fact, the concert version is actually an arrangement, very common nowadays, thanks to a certain Leopold Weninger. We would like to add that Harnoncourt performed two versions in 2001, Strauss’ version for the military brass band and Weninger’s version for symphony orchestra, and then again in 2005 in memory of the victims of the devastating tsunami in the Indian Ocean where the march was not played due to its overly festive nature.  © SM/Qobuz

New Year's Concert 2015

Zubin Mehta

Classical - Released January 9, 2015 | Sony Classical

The institutions of classical music change and evolve, but the Vienna New Year's Concert presented by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, now in its 76th year, remains a pure tradition. That's not to say that there's no new music on the program. The 2015 concert includes five works never played at the concert before, but all are by members of the Strauss family, who as usual dominate the program, and they go to show the size of the unexplored waltz and polka repertory. The famed Zoroastrian conductor Zubin Mehta, approaching 80, was not heard so frequently anymore when this album appeared, less than a month after it was performed. He has conducted the program before, and he remains one of its most successful exponents, pushing the tempos in a way that fits with the festivity of the occasion in such pieces as Accelerationen, Op. 234 (track 8) and the following Electro-magnetische Polka, Op. 80, whose title shows how up-to-the-minute the music of Johann Strauss II was when it first appeared. The live recording, complete with German-language New Year's toast answered by the players, is one of the highlights of this series. Pick up a copy to have on hand for next New Year's Eve!© TiVo
