from Vienna
Introduced by Richard Baker The traditional New Year's Morning concert from the Musikvereinsaal, featuring music by the Strauss Family. This year's concert includes music by Josef, whose glittering career was cut short by a tragically early death. Tonight you can hear his witty Chatterbox polka and the evocative Austrian
Village Swallows waltz. Johann the younger is represented by music both familiar and unfamiliar, and as always the concert ends with the magic of his Blue
Danube waltz and his father's Radetsky march. With the Vienna Philharmonic
Orchestra and the ballet of the Vienna State Opera Choreography GERALDINE DILL Produced for ORF/ZDF by HORST BOSCH m Director HUGO KAECH
