New Year's Day Concert 2008 - Georges Pretre/Wiener Philharmoniker DVD

The 2008 New Year's Day Concert will be conducted by the eminent conductor Georges Prtre for the first time. Prtre is the first French citizen to receive this honour. Maestro Prtre has a special association with the Wiener Philharmoniker dating back to 1966. He is one of the few French Artists to have received the highest decorations both in France and abroad. In 2004 he became Commander of the French Lgion d'honneur and was decorated with the Austrian Cross for Services Rendered to Science and the Arts. He also became Honorary Member of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde... in Vienna - the highest decoration an artist can obtain in Vienna. The concert programme for 1st January 2008 will be the customary cornucopia of Strauss delights but this time with a French theme. The sumptuous setting of the Musikverein Wien provides the traditional backdrop. Tracklist: 1. New Year's Day Concert 2008 Opening Credits 2. Napoleon March Opus 156 3.
