Description:

The Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert is held every year on January 1. The concert is one of the most famous classical music events in the world and is broadcast from Vienna's golden Musikvereinsaal to more than 90 countries around the world via TV and radio, reaching 500 million viewers. In 2021, Riccardo Muti, Music Director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra since 2010, will take the podium for the sixth time in three years, following appearances in 1993, 1997, 2000, 2004, and 2018. Muti has conducted the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra more than 500 times and is currently the most closely associated with the orchestra, so we can expect a performance that is full of tension even amongst the most familiar faces. The program will consist of a variety of thematic works, including "The Blue Danube," "The Racoczi March," and other standard works, as well as various anniversaries of the year 2020. Recorded live at the Musikvereinsaal, Vienna on January 1, 2021
