La Discussione


During Sunday night’s 2007 New Year’s concert, the Schoenbrunn Palace Orchestra Vienna filled the Kalmar hall with the magical sounds of its classical Viennese music. Snow and poor driving conditions were no obstacles for the audience. All dreams came true: beautiful music, graceful dance, and talented soloists. In front of the spectacular backdrop of Schoenbrunn Palace, conductor Guido Mancusi guided the orchestra with playful ease through a number of fantastic works by Strauss. Guido Mancusi’s conducting style is almost picturesque, and he is full of energy, enthusiasm, and humor.

Mr. Mancusi is also a composer, and he invited us to enjoy "The Viennese" which is, as he calls it, a flowing and a – as he likes to call it – enjoyable, gently flowing "waltz for the Swedish people".
