Description:

This is the original source for the roots of the "New Year's Concert"! The first and last "New Year" recording by Clemens Krauss, the founder of the orchestra, and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, is now available on CD from the world premiere master! And on high-quality UHQCD! The Vienna Philharmonic's "New Year's Concert" held in Vienna's Musikvereinsaal, known as the "Golden Hall", is now well-known all over the world, and the founder of this "New Year's Concert" is the famous conductor born in Vienna The founder of the "New Year's Concert" was Clemens Krauss (1893-1954), a famous Viennese conductor, who conducted the original concert on New Year's Eve in 1939, and from 1941, the concert on New Year's Day became a regular event. Four months before his death, Klaus was in the "New Year". This is a live recording of his first and last New Year's performance, four months before his death. He conducted the Vienna Philharmonic with the utmost elegance and refinement in such well-known waltzes as "Celestial Music," "The Voice of Spring," and "The Blue Danube," and in his signature piece "Dragonfly," he portrayed a dragonfly floating in the air with unparalleled skill.The up-tempo polkas such as "On Vacation," "Hurrah for Hungary," and "The Hunt" are performed with a vitality and sharpness not found in the Decca/London recording. The speed is so fast and furious that Carlos Kleiber could not be outdone. Five of the polkas are encores, and the encore performance of the "Radetzky March" at the end does not include the hand-clapping that is common today. This is a CD full of attractions that is irresistible even to fans. This recording was originally released in 1989 as a world premiere LP on the MUSENKURANZ label in Japan.
