Birthday concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra
New edition of the birthday concert from 25 October 1925
Strauss did not live to witness the symbiotic association between his music and the Vienna Philharmonic. 100 years on, the 1925 concert headed by Felix Weingartner was a milestone showcasing the full range of Strauss’ genius, not least as an orchestrator. The commemorative concert 2025 unites conductor Tugan Sokhiev, soprano Nikola Hillebrand and the Wiener Singverein. And it’s not all nostalgia. Commissioned for the occasion, Georg Breinschmid’s Schani 200 brings us back squarely to the 21st century.
