2001 New Year's Eve Concert with Daniel Barenboim and dance music
On this New Year’s Eve, it was hard to keep your feet still: Daniel Barenboim conducted dance music from three centuries to celebrate the turn of the year – from a Bach gavotte to the Brazilian Tico Tico. Likewise, the waltz king Johann Strauss – otherwise a rare guest at the Philharmonie – could not, of course, be left out. And not only the orchestra showed its versatility, but also the conductor, who took to the piano for a rondo by Mozart.
