TheNew Vienna Court ChapelIt was founded by Reinmar Wolf to present the music of the Strauss dynasty as it was customary in the 19th century – in varying ensembles: sometimes for dancing, sometimes as stylish background music for social gatherings. The program is a "Best of New Year's Concert" – not in elaborate arrangements, but faithfully reproduced in small chamber music ensembles, with and without vocals. It feels like stepping back into imperial times – it was wonderful, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
