Neujahrskonzert 2024
New Year's concert 2024

"Thielemann's symphonic credentials pay dividends in the grander pieces, his overview lending a structural breadth to such familiar fare as The Blue Danube, which took on the trappings of a symphonic poem with, in addition, surely the longest fermata on record before the main theme's final return. The famed discipline of the VPO is never in doubt ... Next year marks the return of Riccardo Muti. In the meantime, enjoy this brilliant recording, lovingly conducted by Christian Thielemann".
