The Musikverin, Vienna, specially designed residence of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra; the third best orchestra in the world. Gaining access to their concerts is usually a rather long winded affair, as all tickets are sold through a pre-registration system that has to first be applied for in writing. A place on the system is held for life and as there are a limited number of registration places most Viennese families pass on the right to preregister for tickets.
However five of us managed to purchase tickets for a 'one off concert' sponsored by Austria Bank which was held last Friday; needless to say the performance was excellent and the setting spectacular. The programme included works by Elgar and Prokofiev.
