How did he come up with this?
by flameslover12jiAMAZING!!!!! I don't have words to describe the songs. He's magical!
Great concert from Vienna
by Disc ManThe Vienna Philharmonic broadcasts these concerts every year, but few are as good as this one. The conductor is not well-known in the States, but he works frequently with the Philharmonic and it shows. The tempos are generally slower than usual, but this only serves to bring out the beauty of the music and the committed performance by the orchestra. Listen to the Emperor Waltz. If the combination of pathos, nostalgia and warmth doesn't move you, nothing will.
Enchanting
by marille v illeTo conduct the New Year's Concert is an honour for even the best of conductors. Even the Vienna critics liked the way Georges Pretre conducted the Wiener Philharmoniker. (Just check out what they said about Zubin Mehta last year if you think that they are a crowd easy to please). The Neujahrskonzert 2008 has been a perfect performance. Congratulation Georges
