Vienna has given the world brilliant musicians: Mozart, Beethoven, Strauss
Falco. Sadly, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra won’t bust out a 20-violin rendition of Falco’s ’80s classic “Der Kommissar.” But you can expect a program featuring oldies-but-goodies from the masters such as “Haffner,” “Symphony No. 4 in c minor” and “Death and Transfiguration.” Not bad for a group that has been together for 164 years and seen more lineup changes than Fleetwood Mac.
