Berliner Philharmoniker – New Year’s Eve Concert: Silvesterkonzert 2017 (2018) Blu-ray

Together with her elastic, slim but darkly timbred mezzo-soprano, Joyce DiDonato has audiences in the Philharmonie on many occasions. Now she’s the celebrity guest in Sir Simon Rattle’s side throughout the New Year’s Eve Concert, starring Richard Strauss’s lavishly beautiful orchestral songs. The programme also comprises works by Dvorak, Stravinsky, Bernstein and Shostakovich — filled with virtuosity, gracefulness and humor.
