    I heard the Vienna Philharmonic rejected his original list:

    The Grand Waltz – The Sound of Music
    The Embassy Waltz – My Fair Lady
    Carousel Waltz – Carousel
    Dancing – Hello, Dolly!

    I Feel Pretty – West Side Story
    The Paris Waltz – Candide
    Breathe – In The Heights
    You Should Meet My Wife – A Little Night Music
    Last Midnight – Into the Woods

    Stay out of the way, Maestro. Just let them play.

  • Sixtus says:

    Great to see so much from the other Strauss brothers on the program.

  • Tamino says:

    Such a non controversial program.
    Does Thielemann not like the press?
    He should throw them a bone.
    Come on, bring some controversial Nazi time composer who had a nephew who’s sister knew a pharmacist who sold sleeping pills to Baldur von Schirach.

    It is sure to be back to the good old days with Thielemann… extremely safe hands. A very good programme.
