BBC broadcast of the 2021 New Years' Concert from Vienna. The highlights are the Kaiser Walzer at one hour and 48 minutes, Blue Danube at two hours and 13 minutes and of course the Radetzky March ending the performance. There is a nice vignette set to the Margherita-Polka at one hour and twenty four with the ballet dancers wearing 1920s outfits.
I DVR’d the PBS version of this but forgot to watch it. I usually watch it on January 2 as a nice end to my first day back at work. I guess since January 2 was on a Saturday, it slipped my mind. I’ll probably watch this version as PBS usually cuts some of the music in order to fit in more of the host’s comments.
Thanks.
Reminds me of this though:

Thank you. I enjoy these New Years concerts.
THANK YOU!!!!! I was looking for this a day or two ago and all I could find was someone in the Netherlands who was streaming it from his TV with crappy sound quality.
What a dumb and philistine statement. We should not hold the sons responsible for the sins of their fathers. God may, but we should not.
You’re not getting me.
You’re living in a global concentration camp, and this orchestra is playing for you. Enjoy!
I better enjoy the romantic ballet vignettes before the Woke mob demands same sex couples and trannies in future performances.
