From the Musikverein, Mariss Jansons conducts the Vienna Philharmonic in its traditional New Year concert of music by Johann Strauss II and his contemporaries.

Live from the Musikverein, Vienna.

Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

The Vienna Philharmonic gives its annual greeting to the world for the New Year with waltzes, polkas and quadrilles from three members of the Strauss family and their contemporaries. Verdi and Wagner both make an appearance on the bill as well at the start of their anniversary year.
