Movie Reviews of New Year's Concert 1991 [DVD Video]
Movie Review: Neujahrskonzert With Abbado, for collectors only
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been collecting the New Year's concerts for a while, since the 1987 one, this was the only one missing, so I was really happy when it finally was out. Even though it is indeed a great performance in general, the program of music included that year was not the best. I particularly don't find appealing the inclusion of the Schubert's pieces and the ones by Mozart does not mix well with the Strauss's music, at least for my taste, I found that music kind of interrupting the mood of the concert. It is interesting though, to listen to Rossini's "La Gazza Ladra" mostly because Abbado has proven over the years to be a master performing and recording this overture and the fact that this opens the concert makes it a "non intrusive" piece. Apart from the usual encores at the end, maybe the most known piece is the "Kaiser Walzer". The performance is great though I find Karajan's 1987 and Harnoncourt's 2003 better. Abbado also conducted this concert in 1988 and that one was much better than the 1991 one. If you are a collector of the New Year's concerts, or an Abbado's fan, go for it, if you are only interested in the music, you can find more satisfying recordings of it.
