New Year's Concert (2020)

Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra

Andris Nelsons 18 November 1978

Same Procedure as Every Year

If counted well the Germans today can/could watch Dinner for One (The 90th Birthday) 16 times at different times on various TV-channels, and apart from the original in various German dialects, inclusive Schwiizerdütsch (Swiss German). Very strange folks, the Germans. Well, judge for yourself. 

Tiny tip-off: Be absolutely determined not to laugh. 

 

Dinner for One

Afternoon pleasures

Kitchen view
while freshly prepared espresso's scent
was spoiling my olfactorium.

On the Road

Merry Christmas!

Every year again
Comes the Christ Child
Down to earth
Where we humans are.

Stops with its blessing
At every house
Walks on all paths
With us in and out.

Merry Christmas, then,
Goodwill to all people
and Peace on Earth.
