Petroc Trelawny is our host for this year's traditional start to the year with music from the Golden Hall of the Musikverein in Vienna. This year's concert is led for the first time by the German conductor Christian Thielmann, guiding the Vienna Philharmonic in an array of polkas, waltzes and gallops by the Strauss family and their contemporaries.\n\nAs always, the concert ends with the ever-popular By the Beautiful Blue Danube and the foot-stamping Radetzky March. The concert is transmitted to some 50 million viewers in over 90 countries.
