Daniel Barenboim conducts dance music from all round the world
In 2001, the Berliner Philharmoniker and conductor Daniel Barenboim celebrated New Year’s Eve with dance music from three centuries, revealing the lively variety of the genre, beginning with a Gavotte by Bach, and music by Mozart, Dvořák and Tchaikovsky to the present with the catchy, jazz-inspired Tico Tico. And it could hardly be a concert of dance music without the waltz king Johann Strauss – otherwise a rare guest in the Philharmonie.
