this is a piece of junk, it is a shame that this is made, because there is so much beautiful classical music (like Shostakovich for example). But Strauss is uberpopular and his music always makes you happy, good enough for a saturday night I guess...
@duchessess1 Yes you're right, I waited till the end, thinking it might be in the encores, but no such luck, but have great memories of seeing whole opereta live in Norwich at the Theatre Royal, and waiting for it to come round again, cross fingers, - I love it!
Well, then you're just a fool, for feeling anger because of it.
Liking classical music should make you ever-so-slightly aware of the fact that it's a dying art. Gotta come to terms with the world around you, and all that.
Classical music is not a dying art. Firstly "classical" actually refers to a specific period of time, so it by definition is not able to be replicated. However if you meant "orchestral music", then I am happy to inform you that it is still a hugely popular and successful art. It's called movies.
Why does this pretentious mentality exist? I love classical music, but I'm pretty god damn sure I'm no better than anyone else because of it. If you pay close attention, there are a vast number of people out there who also happen to fans of classical music. You're not outsiders, people. Why do people feel so alienated?
It's beautiful that our generation shows some appreciation for the classic arts, but why do younger followers of classical music feel so self important that they have to announce their age to the internet? This is not a rhetorical question, I was this way too. Is it the precision? The sophistication? Is it the intellectual vibe? What confuses me is that this behavior can be observed from the fans of a variety of music genres such as rock, jazz, swing, and perhaps even techno. Why?
You know, you may be 17 now and be made to feel an outsider for loving classical music, butg the same thing happened to me 40+ years ago. You know the saying: “8 trillion flies can’t be wrong - - eat more shit!” But flies don’t get insecure if you don’t. The lowest common denominator always gets nervous when someonbe stands up and says: “you are entitled to your taste and I to mine.”
But underneath, people are scared. They know it takes more to understand Mozart or Mahler or Strauss than to jerk your knee in unison with a couple thousand others. I don't mean to denigrate quality popular music like the late Greta Keller – also not a commercial success. What I do want to say is what a deep understanding of life/love/creativity opens up for you as you allow yourself to receive more and more of what the musicians create out of their deep yearning for the creative power of life.
@darthbinks99 - There are thousands, or millions of young people all over the world who study and play classical music. You and your brother are not freaks! And who said you must be like other people? Be yourself. Enjoy this wonderful music and be happy!
Yeah, but why the hell would he same this wonderful work of art: "The Bat"??? Yes, it's German language for 'The Bat'. That name's almost an insult to this song! It's bloody awful! The name literally translates as "The Flying Mouse"! I love its...stupidness! Infact, even the daft name helps to make it what it is- BRILLIANT!
@darthbinks99 I liked classical music at a very young age too! I love it more now, you're cultured and appreciate art and that is such an important thing! This is a beautiful thing to enjoy.
This was an incredible performance, why can't we celebrate New Years like this in the United States? Johann must have had an incredibly big imagination to ever create something so great as this, to think someone stopped and came up with this is truly marvelous. So many key parts in the score just blows my mind
I used to laugh at youngsters liking classical music :of course how wrong I was,though I did not take long to really appreciate this music !.Why it is call {"classical" ;because it is forever !
Makes all the young kids special in that they can listen and enjoy the music. Classical is every bit as good as thumping on a rock but an orchestra is a wonderful thing.
Just appreciate great music for the music. Forget what others say, everybody likes differing styles for their own reasons-It's not our fault they can't deal with it.
I don't like all you saying, 'Oh I'm 17 and I like this' as if it makes you special or something. Everyone likes music-it's hardwired into our brains, so there's nothing unusual about enjoying any form of it. Age is no factor in taste (in this case), so don't use it as one.
Die Feldermaus is a typical favorite, especially for me. I'm ten, and Johann Strauss's compositions have made waltzes and overtures my favorite type of music. Ever since I heard it a couple years ago, Strauss has changed the way I think of "music".
@darthbinks99 yea ignore them and laugh at them for thinking lady gaga is the goddess of music or something because her "music" won't be here if it wasn't for these brilliant composers who set up everything for them... if it wasn't for them we'd be hearing them gregorian chants all day long on our ipods and mp3 players and maybe going to operas for concerts. people need to learn to appreciate the originality these people had
How marvelous! The most beautiful overture and perfectly performed! I like this conductor althoug I grew up watching Karajan and Mehta running this show! The only reason I envy people with money: they can afford to fly out and attend this concert which I've been watching on TV every New Year's Day most of my life! BTW, I don't see Sofia Loren in the audience anymore, she used to be regular...
ey leute jetzt hört mal auf!!! wieso guckt ihr euch das an wenn ihr das sooo lahm findet??? ich hör auch lieber pop und so weiter aber das stück ist echt der hammer!!! passt besser erstmal auf und lern noten weil alle anderen lieder auch aus noten bestehen und DANN meckert rum!!! echt ey!!!
"Scheiß Musik. Das ist so lahm. Das lernen wir gerade. Wen interessiert das bitte? Wir wollen Rap, Pop, Hip Hop, Techno und so weiter."<-- So schaut es zumindest nicht so ungebildet aus.
I'm young too and this is just awsome. We do not have to be very smart to understand that such type of music is more complex and every player master its instrument more than every hip hop singer and band. I like hip hop, rock, etc but this is not light music, this is a higher level of music. That's what I think.
I don't see why it's uncool to like classical as a young person. I'm a uni student and do the whole hip-hop/club scene thing and enjoy it, but pieces like this are utterly cool too
Georges Pretre is an amazing conductor and WiennerPhilhrmonik is really unique. I was there and it was simply incomparable. I hope they give Pretre next neujahrskonzert
So Austrian! I would say timeless like everyone else except that it was written for another age in the hey day of Vienna. We can only really relive that by listening to Strauss. The Vienna Philharmonic is just amazing!
does anyone know where I can see or download the Australian Melburne new year concert 2009/10 Please any selp whould be much appriciated, a list of songs could help too...
@ronniebear26 without any doubt! BTW: VPO (active 1842 to present) was by tradition an all-male orchestra, but in 1997 the first woman became a member.
@Mastermnd0 I actually know it. But if you turn on the TV. 90% of this craps, are from United States. Hip hops, "rocks" that aren't Rock'n'roll. Bullshits..
I know a lot of good bands there.. But there's no chance for them. Like Mars Volta..
They don't even are knowed (sorry about my english ok)
@Luckzzz Not all people from USA like rap/pop crap; I for one absolutely hate it. I'm 13 and people make fun of me for liking classical, but all they listen to is fake music that's edited by computers, has no emotion whatsoever, and overall, is just... BLAND. Music like this enlightens the soul. This piece is wonderful! So amazing!
@ShadyNightCrow well don't make it an open fact you like classical music.
I've always liked only classical music, I can't get into any pop music or rap, and most people at school think im like most other people; into pop and rap and dubstep but in fact its quite different.
I'm 17 now in my last year of school and its still like that.
Theres no point letting others know, Its impossible to find anyone else you can relate to in school.
@ShadyNightCrow The fact that you don't like other genres of music does not make them 'crap'. It's a personal opinion that you like classical but not rap. I don't like rap, but I appreciate it. It's another type of music just like classical, just like house music, just like rock and any other type of music. Even if you're playing with a piece of wood, it's still music. I am myself a classical, jazz, house person. I'm even a trumpeter. Every music is wonderful in all it's glory.
This music is a gift to us from the past, why not put down those modern stuff which mostly aren't nice and listen to classics, famous for HUNDREDS of years.
I know well enough that many people would disagree with me on this, but older music like this is way better than today's music by far. Our society has chosen a lot of the dumbest musicians ever, fuck, today's music isn't even music. Seriously, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, and all of that shit? What has happened to our taste of good music? I agree with bdrman, today's people really should try music like this at least once, they just might like it. :) This song's still awesome to me and I'm a teen.
@XxAmberAmanexX I agree with you classical music is awsome. Austrians hate Justin Bieber and new music is a piece of sh*t. Justin Bieber and all of that sh*t hate Vienna.
@XxAmberAmanexX I agree classical is great, but "today's music" is not just american pop: that's just the music chosen by those who can't even sing a happy birthday without getting 50%+ of the notes wrong and not noticing. Repetitive, uninspired, senseless crap... but there are other genres alive today, you know?
There is a lot of shitty music today, indeed. However, there is still very good music being made. And I'm sure that back then there was also a lot of shitty music. Of course, it's only the good music that we remember.
This is the music that belongs to the whole world and should be around for a very, very long time. And no, I am not talking about forcing the Anglo-European or Western way on people or any crap like that, I am just talking about good music that everyone should be exposed to at least once in their life. So I am not trying to make any political statement or anything. But I have seen some of the comments on Youtube so I feel as if I have to justify my comment.
7:30 leads up to such a majestic moment in this wonderful, divine piece. This is one of my most favorite pieces. I listened to the whole thing, and it was breath-taking, and awespiring listening to every note. =)
i love the way he conducted this...i thought it was really good because he drug out some parts that most other conductors dont....plus this is by one of the greatest orchestras...one of my favorites
Es la enésima vez que escucho esta bellísima obertura y obviamente no me canso de hacerlo. En el contexto de la opereta completa adquiere un sentido más integrador, pues remite a pasajes específicos de la representación. ¡Sin duda a obra maestra del género!
Aliva, every year at the 1th of January, there is this new years concert from Vienna (Austria) with the Vienna Philarmonic Orchestra. I'm 49 y/o and as long I remember there is this concert. A very long and beautiful tradition.
I could watch Georges Pretre all day. Fab.

@Luckzzz there's loads and loads of music from the USA that is awesome, you are just listening to the shitty genres: that is YOUR fault.

@Mastermnd0 I actually know it. But if you turn on the TV. 90% of this craps, are from United States. Hip hops, "rocks" that aren't Rock'n'roll. Bullshits..
I know a lot of good bands there.. But there's no chance for them. Like Mars Volta..
They don't even are knowed (sorry about my english ok)

@Luckzzz Not all people from USA like rap/pop crap; I for one absolutely hate it. I'm 13 and people make fun of me for liking classical, but all they listen to is fake music that's edited by computers, has no emotion whatsoever, and overall, is just... BLAND. Music like this enlightens the soul. This piece is wonderful! So amazing!

@ShadyNightCrow well don't make it an open fact you like classical music.
I've always liked only classical music, I can't get into any pop music or rap, and most people at school think im like most other people; into pop and rap and dubstep but in fact its quite different.
I'm 17 now in my last year of school and its still like that.
Theres no point letting others know, Its impossible to find anyone else you can relate to in school.

@ShadyNightCrow The fact that you don't like other genres of music does not make them 'crap'. It's a personal opinion that you like classical but not rap. I don't like rap, but I appreciate it. It's another type of music just like classical, just like house music, just like rock and any other type of music. Even if you're playing with a piece of wood, it's still music. I am myself a classical, jazz, house person. I'm even a trumpeter. Every music is wonderful in all it's glory.

This music is a gift to us from the past, why not put down those modern stuff which mostly aren't nice and listen to classics, famous for HUNDREDS of years.

I know well enough that many people would disagree with me on this, but older music like this is way better than today's music by far. Our society has chosen a lot of the dumbest musicians ever, fuck, today's music isn't even music. Seriously, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, and all of that shit? What has happened to our taste of good music? I agree with bdrman, today's people really should try music like this at least once, they just might like it. :) This song's still awesome to me and I'm a teen.

@XxAmberAmanexX I agree with you classical music is awsome. Austrians hate Justin Bieber and new music is a piece of sh*t. Justin Bieber and all of that sh*t hate Vienna.

@XxAmberAmanexX I agree classical is great, but "today's music" is not just american pop: that's just the music chosen by those who can't even sing a happy birthday without getting 50%+ of the notes wrong and not noticing. Repetitive, uninspired, senseless crap... but there are other genres alive today, you know?

I don't agree.
There is a lot of shitty music today, indeed. However, there is still very good music being made. And I'm sure that back then there was also a lot of shitty music. Of course, it's only the good music that we remember.

This is the music that belongs to the whole world and should be around for a very, very long time. And no, I am not talking about forcing the Anglo-European or Western way on people or any crap like that, I am just talking about good music that everyone should be exposed to at least once in their life. So I am not trying to make any political statement or anything. But I have seen some of the comments on Youtube so I feel as if I have to justify my comment.

7:30 leads up to such a majestic moment in this wonderful, divine piece. This is one of my most favorite pieces. I listened to the whole thing, and it was breath-taking, and awespiring listening to every note. =)

i love the way he conducted this...i thought it was really good because he drug out some parts that most other conductors dont....plus this is by one of the greatest orchestras...one of my favorites

Es la enésima vez que escucho esta bellísima obertura y obviamente no me canso de hacerlo. En el contexto de la opereta completa adquiere un sentido más integrador, pues remite a pasajes específicos de la representación. ¡Sin duda a obra maestra del género!

Aliva, every year at the 1th of January, there is this new years concert from Vienna (Austria) with the Vienna Philarmonic Orchestra. I'm 49 y/o and as long I remember there is this concert. A very long and beautiful tradition.
