On 1.1.2013, don’t forget the Vienna Philharmonics New Years Day performance which is broadcast on your local PBS station on the program “Great Performances”. Look up the times and I suggest record it if you won’t be home. We never miss it.

If you’ve never seen it and like Strauss Waltzes played with Ballet, along with some beautiful Viennese scenery, you’re in for a treat.

If you HAVE seen it, you don’t need ME to explain it, but here’s the playlist:

Josef Strauss: The Soubrette, Fast Polka, op. 109  
Johann Strauss, Jr.: Kiss Waltz, op. 400  
Josef Strauss: Theater Quadrille, op. 213  
Johann Strauss, Jr.: From the Mountains, Waltz, op. 292  
Franz von Suppé: Overture to the Operetta “Light Cavalry”  
Josef Strauss: Music of the Spheres, Waltz, op. 235  
Josef Strauss: The Spinstress, Polka française, op. 192  
Richard Wagner: Prelude to Act III of the Romantic Opera “Lohengrin”, WWV 75  
Joseph Hellmesberger, Jr.: In Confidence, Polka mazur, op. 15  
Josef Strauss: Hesperus’ Paths, Waltz, op. 279  
Josef Strauss: The Runners, Fast Polka, op. 237  
Joseph Lanner: Styrian Dances, op. 165  
Johann Strauss, Jr.: Melodies Quadrille, op.112  
Giuseppe Verdi: Prestissimo from the Ballet Music in Act III of the Opera “Don Carlo”  
Johann Strauss, Jr.: Where the Lemon Trees Bloom, Waltz, op. 364  
Johann Strauss, Sr.: Memories of Ernst or The Carnival of Venice, Fantasy, op. 126

You will note “The Radetzky March”, which is the traditional “end piece” isn’t listed, but I can’t believe they wouldn’t play it as the whole audience participates with clapping and they WAIT for that one! 🙂

Thanks
