Franz Welser-Möst, Wiener Philharmoniker – Neujahrskonzert 2023

There are few concerts in the world that are awaited with as much excitement as the New Year's Concert from Vienna. Under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst, the Vienna Philharmonic ushers in the New Year with a concert in the magnificent Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein. The concert is broadcast to over 90 countries all round the world, reaching an audience of more than 50 million. The 2023 New Year's Concert is conducted for the third time by Austrian conductor Franz Welser-Möst, who has already appeared twice on the podium for the New Year's Concert (2011 and 2013) and once for the Summer Night's Concert (2010). Welser-Möst enjoys a particularly close and productive artistic partnership with the Vienna Philharmonic, which he regularly conducts in subscription concerts at the Vienna Musikverein and on tours in Europe, Japan, China and the USA. Recordings of the New Year's Concerts are among the most important titles on the classical music market, and Sony Classical is keen to make this release available to the widest possible international audience. The live recording was made available digitally on January 6, 2023, on CD from January 13, and on DVD, Blu-ray and Vinyl from January 27. 3 x LP (cat# 19658717441).
