The concert, as always is complete and is broken up into two parts. Part 1 (above) features the Strauss pieces and Part 2 (below) features the Beethoven and an unlisted encore of Brahms. The crowd was happy.

The announcements are in French, but I edited them down to fit the player. So don't run for the translator just yet.

Enjoy.
