Ever since the late 1930s, New Year’s Day has been celebrated in Vienna with a special concert in the magnificent Musikverein, one of the greatest concert halls in the world. This glittering celebration, broadcast to millions around the world, has done more than any source to popularise the music of the remarkable Strauss family: Johann the Elder and his sons Eduard, Josef and (most famous of all) Johann the Younger. Collected here are the 19 most frequently played waltzes, polkas and overtures in the history of this unique institution.
