| Christian Thielemann conducting the Staatskapelle Dresden. |
The Christmas and New Year concert season on European television took off yesterday with the traditional "Adventliche Festmusik aus Dresden". This was the tenth first of advent concert from the beautifully rebuilt Frauenkirche with the Staatskapelle Dresden, this time again led by its Principal Conductor Christian Thielemann. The Sächsische Staatsoper Chorus and the star soloists, mezzo Elisabeth Kulman, tenor Benjamin Bruns and violonist Lisa Batiasvili all shone in a program of music by Bach, Handel, Mozart, Gonoud, Humperdinck, and a first performance of a Christmas piece by Wilhelm Kienzl. Another memorable first of advent concert from Dresden broadcast by German ZDF, although the television director could could have opted for somewhat less movement from the cameras.
