The Wiener Philharmoniker surrounded by heroes,

or at least their heroes: on stage, the conductor Christian Thielemann, who, in addition to twice being entrusted with their prestigious New Year’s concert, recently conducted them in a highly acclaimed performance of the complete symphonies of Anton Bruckner. And propped on the podium, among others, Richard Strauss and his very autobiographical A Hero’s Life. A heroic evening in every sense of the word!
