The Wiener Mozart Concerts are the second-best option for all those who cannot attend the New Year's Concert in Vienna. They are held regularly.
Nevertheless, we had to buy our tickets well in advance. When we arrived at the Musikverein, there were many spectators from all over the world — almost a full house.
Both the compositions, the musicians and the soloist were excellent! They were wearing periodic costumes - a nice touch. It is hard to choose a composition or two we liked the most, but we have to mention the Ouverture from the Le Nozze di Figaro and the first movement of Symphony No. 40.
To the delight of the audience, there were two Bis compositions! After the full program of Mozart's masterpieces, the orchestra performed the waltz An der schönen blauen Donau by Johann Strauss Junior and the Radetzky March by Johann Strauss Senior! Needless to say, the atmosphere was festive!
