This felt like a New Year’s concert for those who regard January 1 as a time for regretful farewells, rather than fresh starts. But it’s part of the miracle of this music that it can bear both interpretations, and Muti understands that. Not for everyday listening, perhaps, but one to store up and savour when the mood is right.
Das Neujahrskonzert 2025 fängt die weltberühmte Wiener Neujahrstradition ein, mit Riccardo Muti am Pult der Wiener Philharmoniker im Goldenen Saal des Wiener Musikvereins. Diese festliche Doppel-CD, veröffentlicht bei Sony Classical, feiert den 200. Geburtstag von Johann Strauss Jr. mit einem funkelnden Programm aus Walzern, Polkas und Märschen der Strauss-Familie und ihrer Zeitgenossen.
Das Album, das Mutis siebtes Mal bei diesem geschätzten Ereignis markiert, setzt eine Tradition fort, die jedes Neujahr von Millionen Menschen weltweit verfolgt wird. Zu den Höhepunkten gehören An der schönen blauen Donau, der Radetzky-Marsch, der Lagunen-Walzer und die Ouvertüre zu Der Zigeunerbaron, dargeboten mit der Eleganz, Wärme und dem Wiener Stil, die diese Konzerte weltweit so beliebt gemacht haben.
"Dies fühlte sich an wie ein Neujahrskonzert für jene, die den 1. Januar eher als Zeit für bedauerliche Abschiede denn für Neuanfänge betrachten. Doch es ist Teil des Wunders dieser Musik, dass sie beide Interpretationen zulässt, und Muti versteht das. Vielleicht nicht für den täglichen Hörgenuss, aber eine, die man aufbewahren und genießen sollte, wenn die Stimmung passt." – Gramophone
