- In his first
appearance in the Berlin Philharmonic’s New Years Eve’s Concerts, Simon Rattle
conducts one of the most brilliant and entertaining scores of Leonard
Bernstein: the musical comedy "Wonderful Town"

no orchestra in the world attract more attention than Simon Rattle and his
Berlin Philharmonic

here by Broadway stars Kim Criswell and Audra McDonald and by world-famous
baritone Thomas Hampson in the leading parts
- A great show
full of dancing, choruses, fascinating light design and - above all -
intoxicating music
- The exuberant
atmosphere of this event culminates in an overwhelming encore with the
musicians and audience dancing through the hall - you will never have seen the
Philharmonie like this
- Brand new
recording and state-of-the-art quality featuring 5.1 surround sound in Dolby
Digital and DTS and widescreen 16:9 ratio
"A grandiose New Year’s Eve
Concert. This firework of wit, charm and musicality [reveals] a new spirit in
the Philharmonie" -- Berliner Zeitung
"In this hugely enjoyable new
recording …, the contrasting voices of Audra McDonald - sweet, creamy and sexy
as romantic Eileen - and Kim Criswell - raunchy, brassy … as the realistic Ruth
- beguile the ear." -- The Sunday Times on the audio recording
"…it is exuberant show music,
with an occasional bittersweet edge. That zest is brilliantly caught in Simon
Rattle’s performance…" -- The Guardian on the audio recording |
