Who would have thought back then – that this son, born exactly 200 years ago, would one day become a waltz king. One whose works have been among the most performed for what feels like an eternity. One who, in terms of song output, can really only be compared to Michael Jackson or Paul McCartney. Johann Strauss II, the son of his father of the same name, with strong Viennese roots and a heart beating in triple time, created sparkling waltz and polka hits that have stood the test of time and that almost everyone can whistle along to. Not just on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, but then with particular zip. Chief conductor Nicholas Milton lives up to his reputation and peppers the program with little interludes from other composers. Cheers!

After Robert Schumann's Manfred Overture, which has already established itself as an independent orchestral work to such an extent that its literary basis (Lord Byron) has almost been forgotten, we hear a very current premiere. The young German composer Clemens K. Thomas says of his work: "'Girls und Panzer' is not a piece about war, but about its consumability in Central Europe." It is about "politics as a balancing act full of compromises and contradictions." This is followed by Composer in Focus Matthew Hindson with "Maralinga", which also has political references: that was the name of a British nuclear test site in Australia in the 1950s. And finally, Arthur Honegger provides a conciliatory conclusion with his fourth symphony "Basler Freuden", which was written shortly after the end of the Second World War.
