专辑简介

For over 20 years, the Cologne New Philharmonic enchants its audience at the turn of the year with cheerful and contemplative programs from the rich repertoire of the Strauss dynasty and their contemporaries. Anyone who engages in a New Year's Concert of this Orchestra knows that on this day the light muse governs with roguish humor and humor by principal conductor Volker Hartung. This album contains both the classic Strauss highlights such as „Voices of Spring“, the "Blue Danube" and the „Emperor Waltz“ as well as the sparkling and spirited musical jokes as „Under Thunder and Lightning“, „Champagne-Polka“ and the ingenious „Perpetuum Mobile“. Humorous, entertaining and unforgettable moments await you while listening to the music as brilliantly played by this group.
