5.0 out of 5 stars 2010 Welcomed in Vienna, 17 Jan 2010
By John Austin "austinjr@bigpond.net.au" (Kangaroo Ground, Australia) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: New Year's Day Concert 2010 [DVD] (DVD)
Almost 70 years after the first of these new year concerts occurred comes this lavish 2010 production. The now familiar pattern was established by Austrian conductor Clemens Krauss. Here, for the second time, veteran Frenchman Georges Pretre. is the conductor.

Fast polkas and gallops are as dashing as one could wish, and the waltzes have never received such tender, loving treatment. I especially welcome the inclusion of "Wein, Weib und Gesung" with its introduction given in full - the longest and loveliest Johann Strauss Jnr provided for any of his waltzes.

While listening, you'll see acres of gold panelling, tonnes of gorgeous floral decoration, rows of giant chandeliers, some celebrities in the well-dressed audience, and occasional interiors of other Viennese buildings where the elegant dance sequences are filmed.

Otto Nicolai, the founder of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is commemorated, there is a sizzling polka by Danish composer Lumbye, and an Offenbach overture which later became the Barcarolle from "The Tales of Hoffman" is included.

Amidst so much to enjoy, it seems that no one enjoys it more than the conductor, Georges Pretre.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vienna New Year Concert 2010 DVD, 16 Feb 2010
This review is from: New Year's Day Concert 2010 [DVD] (DVD)
I had already watched the BBC2 tranmission of the New Year Concert 2010. the video does not give much improvement on the picture quality (although filmed in HD). However the whole Concert is recorded , not just part 2 after the interval as shown on BBC. also the sound quality is marginally better through HOme Theatre System. I was dissapointed that Decca are not doing a Blu-Ray version of the Concert as they did in 2009 ? . All in all, a worthwhile buy for Viennese Waltz fans., and Conductor George Pretre was, as usual, in fine form with the Vienna Philharmonic, who now have 2 female musicians !

5.0 out of 5 stars DVD is NTSC Region 0, 27 Jan 2010
By Grace Poole (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New Year's Day Concert 2010 [DVD] (DVD)
I bought this thinking it was a PAL Region 2 DVD. When it arrived it said NTSC Region 0 (Worldwide). I emailed Amazon and they apologised for it being advertised as PAL and offered me a refund. But as it doesn't appear to be out on PAL, I took a risk and opened it and it DOES play on my DVD Player which plays NTSC Region 0. I think it will play on most modern players in UK that play NTSC and Region 0. Am very pleased it plays OK!!!
