Title: Salzburg Festival Opening Concert
Released: 2009
Genre: Classical
Directed by: Michael Beyer
Conductor: Nikolaus Harnoncourt
Artist: Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra

Description:

In one of the most unusual opening concerts of recent decades, Nikolaus Harnoncourt launched the 2009 Salzburg Festival with an exploration of the dance element in Austrian music. Dances by Schubert and Josef Strauss provided an introduction to the magnificent "Dance of Death" that emerged from the octogenarian maestro's hands in Schubert's C major Symphony ("Great"). The perfect orchestra for these authentically Viennese and yet universally valid works was, of course, the Vienna Philharmonic. "An interpretation of incomparable richness" (Münchner Merkusr).
