Neujahrskonzert 2010 - Georges Prêtre


Acabei de receber esta notícia fantástica e passo a transcrevê-la do site da Orquestra Filarmónica de Viena:

"The Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert 2010 will be conducted for the second time by the French conductor Georges Prêtre. Philharmonic Chairman Clemens Hellsberg stated that the decision was made "in recognition of our many years of collaboration and Prêtre's extensive experience with this genre." The success of Prêtre's debut at the New Year's Concert 2008 "was for both conductor and orchestra very gratifying."

Georges Prêtre has been honored several times for his artistic achievements in his home country and also in Austria. In 2004 he was named a Commander of the French Foreign Legion and in the same year was awarded the Austrian Honorary Cross for Science and the Arts, 1st Class.

Since 1987 the conductors of the New Year's Concert have alternated yearly. Herbert von Karajan conducted in 1987, followed by Claudio Abbado (1988 and 1991), Carlos Kleiber (1989 and 1992), Zubin Mehta (1990, 1995, 1998, 2007), Riccardo Muti (1993, 1997, 2000, 2004), Lorin Maazel (1994, 1996, 1999, 2005), Seiji Ozawa (2002), Nikolaus Harnoncourt (2001, 2003), Mariss Jansons (2006), Georges Prêtre (2008) and Daniel Barenboim (2009). In 2010 Prêtre returns to the podium of the New Year's Concert for the second time."

Só espero que Deus continue a dar saúde ao grande maestro para ele nos presentear aos 85 anos com uma nova obra prima (prometo-vos continuar a apresentar as suas interpretações do Concerto de ano Novo em Veneza), tal como foi o Concerto de 2008.

E só porque cada post deste blog relaciona-se com apresentações musicais, sugiro por exemplo que relembrem esta do maestro genial.
