Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert
Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert was conducted by
Mr. Welser-Möst.
First I got an impression of him as an elegant serious type.
In a middle of a tune, he took a stuffed animal from a box and
handed it to a performer who had just played a solo part.
He continued with a goose, an elephant, a viking cap, a wood spoon, etc.
He finished the tune with a chef cap on his head and
a wood spoon in his hand.
It was fun.
Japanese: ぬいぐるみ Nuigurumi
Korean: 봉제 인형 (縫製人形)
English: stuffed toy
Chinese: 充填玩具
French: peluches
"peluche" means plush.
Italian: animali di peluche
animals of plush
German: Kuscheltiere
"kuscheln" means to snuggle.
Dutch: knuffeltje
"knuffelen" means to hug.
