New Year's Eve concert Hamburg 2002

This extraordinary New Year's Eve concert was already the fourth performed by the Philharmonic Staatsorchester Hamburg with its musical director Ingo Metzmacher. The Musikhalle was completely sold out, so that some fans had to enjoy the concert standing.The program was - as usual - filled with works, hardly anyone ever heard about. Real highlights were: Schulhoffs "Ogelala"-Waffentanz, Rolf Liebermanns "Furioso", or the quite unconventional †berraschungs-Walzer by Rihm and Killmayer. As in the years before Syrinx recorded the concert and also produced the Live-CD: "Who is afraid of 20th's Century Music Vol. IV", which the fans could buy already on the 10th of January in the shop of the Staatsoper and shortly thereafter in regular shops (Sony, LC01039).
