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!

Vivaldi’s Four Seasons are among the most beautiful works of classical music: from the birdsong of spring to the heat of summer and the call to autumnal hunting to the bone-chilling cold of winter, Vivaldi paints the course of the year in the most brilliant musical colors. This legendary recording was made with violin star Anne-Sophie Mutter and Herbert von Karajan.

“It is unashamedly a fun record, and even Mutter has rarely played with such freedom and warmth, obviously enjoying these display pieces every bit as much as the repertory concertos and new works that are her staple diet. The gipsy flavours of the two Sarasate pieces, as well as of Ravel’s “Tzigane,” sound even more exotic than usual, and rarely has the brilliant sound section, with its Hungarian fire, sounded quite so exciting with a stunning accelerando at the end. The tender repose which she then brings to the Massenet “Meditation” is thus all the more affecting…Sarasate’s Carmen Fantasy, which provides the whole disc with its title, is as high-powered as the Ravel…with James Levine and the Vienna Philharmonic providing Mutter with comparably weighty and committed accompaniment, I have to say her performance thrusts home powerfully.” – Edward Greenfield, Gramophone

Conducting the Wiener Philharmoniker, Andris Nelsons presents a concert night which concentrates every conceivable passion: Bernd Alois Zimmermann’s Trumpet Concerto “Nobody knows de trouble I see” performed with “technical perfection” (Kronenzeitung) by “the fantastic Håkan Hardenberger” (Salzburger Nachrichten) and Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 in C minor “Resurrection”.

“Nelsons proved to be delicate but hearty when interpreting Mahler.” (Wiener Zeitung). The conductor led the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra to “enticingly beautiful sounds” (Die Presse). “High praise goes to the vocal soloists Ekaterina Gubanova, Lucy Crowe and the Bavarian Broadcasting choir.” (Salzburger Nachrichten)

It has been a long time, and probably stretching all the way back to the now-distant, legendary concerts led by Carlos Kleiber in 1989 and 1992, since we have enjoyed a New Year’s Concert of such quality. With the Latvian Andris Nelsons (known and liked by the Philharmoniker) conducting, this first concert of 2020 had a fluent elegance, a rhythmical verve which was both light and implacable, and a kind of song that allowed the Viennese strings to show off their incredibly silky texture and profound depth.

After hearing most of Abbado’s Mahler, early and late, I had formed the opinion that he steadily improved, moving from caution to a real and deep understanding of Mahler’s world. But just in case there were some early gems, I went back to this Fourth Syms. recorded in Vienna in 1978 (it can also be had in a bargain twofer with an almost equally impressive Sym. #2 from Chicago).
