E 'also came to an end in 2009, the year that hardly remain in memory as the best of the decade which ends tonight. 2010 will be the turning point for our anemic economy? We can only wish him all together. Meanwhile, the new year that is can not be celebrated musically and, pending the appointment "cult" in Vienna, I got the pleasure of putting together some proposals "party animals" who could give a more international celebration of the ' "years to come." Would open and then, dutifully, with an overture, written in 1956 by Leonard Bernstein for his operetta "Candide." Eiji Oue, a pupil of Bernstein, director of the Osaka Philharmonic, ideally to bring together the details of East and West, the first and the last to celebrate the coming year.
And now some "jokes" from the first Year. Festive and unusual is certainly the "Grand, Grand Overture," the British Malcolm Arnold, also dated 1956. Establishment plan are counted three orchestral vacuum cleaner, a mop and four guns, engaged - the latter - to eliminate the players of the first, with comic effect to guess the result, however, well demonstrated by the registration proposed here, is the Last Night of the Proms 2009 . David Robertson conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra; "solo" exceptional Jiri Belohlavek, Goldie, Jennifer Pike and Sir David Attenborough to vacuum the floor cleaning.
more elegant, but easy-grip is Waltz composed by Dmitri Shostakovich, contained in his Suite for Orchestra varieties (long known as the Second Jazz suite), composed in time unidentified, but back to 1956. Kubrick did this piece of the backbone of the soundtrack of his latest film, "Eyes Wide Shut", giving it a reputation hitherto unknown. Marin Alsop conducts the orchestra of the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
from Eastern Europe, arrives even the next proposal. Simon Rattle conducts the Berliner Philharmoniker in Romanian Rhapsody No 1, op. 11 George Enescu, dated 1901.
On behalf of Latin America, this is the Danzon No 2 by Mexican Arturo Marquez, born in 1950. Gustavo Dudamel leads the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela.
To close, a fitting tribute to the tradition, which leads me to propose a piece of the unique and inimitable Stock Neujahrkonzert , in his edition 2006, when on the podium of the Vienna Philharmonic performed Mariss Jansons. This is the Kunstler-Quadrille, written by Johann Strauss Jr. in obvious homage to the fathers of the music. Recognizable pieces composed by Mozart, Weber, Beethoven, Paganini, Mendelssohn, and so on. Good listening, and that I extend my personal wishes for a bright 2010.
