 Between being busy and being away, I've failed to post for several weeks, but here's what WCRB is offering this evening in the 8:00 p.m. time slot: https://www.classicalwcrb.org/show/the-boston-symphony-orchestra/2021-12-21/a-new-years-day-celebration

Ring in the new year with CRB and the Boston Symphony Orchestra with timeless waltzes by Lanner and Strauss and Wagner's "Siegfried Idyll," capped off with Beethoven's eternal Symphony No. 9 — all conducted by Erich Leinsdorf.

Boston Symphony Orchestra
Erich Leinsdorf, conductor

Jane Marsh, soprano
Josephine Veasey, mezzo-soprano
Placido Domingo, tenor
Sherrill Milnes, baritone

Joseph LANNER "Die Mozartisten" Waltzes
WAGNER Siegfried Idyll
MOZART Flute Quartet in D, K. 285: III. Rondo (Boston Symphony Chamber Players)
BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 9, Choral
STRAUSS II, arr. SCHOENBERG Roses from the South (Boston Symphony Chamber Players)

This concert was originally broadcast on January 1, 2022 and is no longer available on demand.

Obviously, the performance wasn't given on January 1, 2022. Apparently WCRB put it together for that Saturday and decided it was worth a replay. It should be worth a listen.

The Orchestra will be back performing live next week.
