I wish you all a beautiful evening!

I think I skipped the cello for some time so I should fix it. Always a good idea, Gautier Capuçon performing Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85 - I. Adagio. Moderato, with the London Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Antonio Pappano.

Less than four weeks until the annual New Year’s Concert from the Philharmonic of Vienna. Always a pleasure with rich people inside having champagne, and the poor outside watching it live on a big screen. On a positive note, our drinks never get warm.
Here's a video from last year’s performance with Riccardo Muti conducting the Freiheitsmarsch.
