维也纳金色大厅:聆听新年音乐会
The New Year Concert(in German:Das Neujahrskonzert der Wiener Philharmoniker)of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is a concert that takes place each year in the morning of January1 in Vienna,Austria.It is broadcast around the world to an estimated audience of one billion in 44 countries.
The music is mostly that of the Strauss family(Johann Strauss I,Johann Strauss II,Josef Strauss and Eduard Strauss).The flowers that decorate the Wiener Musikverein concert hall are a gift each year from the city of San Remo,Liguria,Italy.
The concert always ends with several encores after the main programme.The musicians then collectively wish the audience a happy new year,and close with Johann Strauss IIs Blue Danube Waltz followed by the Radetzky March.During this last piece,the audience claps along in time and the conductor turns to conduct them instead of the orchestra.The concert was first performed in 1939(on 31 December of that year)conducted by Clemens Krauss.
新年音乐会(德语说法)是由维也纳爱乐乐团在每年1月1日的早晨在奥地利维也纳的金色大厅举行的。世界将会有44个国家十亿人通过广播和电视收看这一盛会。
演奏的音乐大多为施特劳斯家族的作品(约翰斯特劳斯一世,二世,约瑟夫施特劳斯和爱德华施特劳斯)每年从意大利的雷古里亚的圣雷莫地区订购的鲜花,将会吧大厅装饰一新。
音乐会经常会在演出结束后,返场几次。之后全体演奏人员将会向全体观众送出新年祝福,加演时经常会演奏拉德斯基进行曲和约翰斯特劳斯的蓝色多瑙河作为结束曲。最后一曲时候,观众将会起立鼓掌,之后指挥会带领乐队成员起立致敬。第一次的新年音乐会开始于1939年(在12月31日)由克劳斯克莱门斯指挥。
