Live from Vienna

Available for 21 days

The Vienna Philharmonic’s much loved annual New Year’s Day concert returns once again to the Golden Hall of the Musikverein. Petroc Trelawny introduces the orchestra live from Vienna for Radio 3 as this great orchestra sweeps through waltzes, marches, galops and polkas, led this year by Maestro Yannick Nézet‑Séguin. The 2026 programme blends perennial favourites with first‑time discoveries: Johann Strauss’s overture to Indigo and the Forty Thieves, Ziehrer’s Danube Legends, Josephine Weinlich’s Siren Songs and Florence Price’s radiant Rainbow Waltz, alongside treasures by Lanner, Suppè, Josef and Eduard Strauss, and Hans Christian Lumbye’s exuberant Copenhagen Steam Railway Galop. The concert culminates in the traditional encores - the Blue Danube and the rousing Radetzky March. As ever, the Philharmonic offers this performance as a musical greeting to audiences worldwide, in the spirit of hope, friendship and peace at the dawn of 2026.
