Falco: Symphonic
Falcos einziger Auftritt mit grossem Orchester Ein posthumes Geschenk zum 10. Todestag. Und ein Wunder moderner Tontechnik, mit deren Hilfe aus einem fragmentarischen Live-Mitschnitt ein Werk realisiert wurde, dass des Falken würdig ist. Ob "Jeanny", "Ganz Wien" oder "Amadeus" - Die Hits des Weltstars aus Österreich sind bis heute legendär. Doch das frühe Ableben des Künstlers machte viele Pläne und Hoffnungen zu Nichte. Auch jene, ein ganz besonderes Event noch einmal zu erleben, mit dem Falco im Jahr 1994 überraschte. Zum ersten und letzten Mal: Begleitet vom 80-Mann-Orchester des Wiener Neustädter Konservatoriums und vor mehr als 10'000 begeisterten Fans liess Falco damals den Domplatz erbeben. Niemand ahnte, dass dies das einzige Konzert dieser Art bleiben würde... Der Wunsch, Falco noch einmal in symphonischer Begleitung zu erleben, geht mit dieser DVD in Erfüllung
