BBC Radio 3 - New Year's Day Concert, 01/01/2023

The traditional New Year's Day Concert given by the Vienna Philharmonic.

The traditional New Year's Day Concert given by the Vienna Philharmonic under the baton of conductor Franz Welser-Möst. Broadcast live and presented by Petroc Trelawny.

The annual New Year’s Day concert given by the Vienna Philharmonic in the glittering Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein.  But those of us not lucky enough to be there in person can still enjoy the swirling waltzes, rousing marches uplifting polkas as Petroc Trelawny introduces the concert live for Radio 3.  Led from the podium by conductor Franz Welser-Möst the programme mixes old favourites with new discoveries which celebrate, amongst other things: heroic poems, cosy nights, pearls of love and the famous Blue Danube.  The orchestra say the concert is a New Year's Day greeting to people all over the world in the spirit of hope, friendship and peace, and who wouldn’t agree with these sentiments and wish for these things in 2023?
