[Machine Translation] The New Year's Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic, which is well-known in Japan, will be conducted by the French maestro Georges Pretre for the first time in two years in 2010. The previous New Year's Concert sold nearly 130,000 tickets worldwide. Since then, Praetor's popularity has been soaring in Japan, and his live recordings released by other companies have been topping the classical charts in CD stores. Praetor's relationship with the orchestra has been excellent, as evidenced by his recent regular appearances at Vienna Philharmonic subscription concerts, and he will once again delight music fans around the world with his energetic conducting, which is hard to believe at 85 years old. Recorded January 1, 2010 at the Great Hall of the Musikverein in Vienna
