There are few concerts in the world that are awaited with as much excitement as the New Year’s Concert from Vienna. Under the direction of Andris Nelsons, the Vienna Philharmonic ushers in the New Year with a concert in the magnificent Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein. The concert is relayed to over ninety countries all around the world, reaching an audience of more than fifty million.

At the 2020 New Year’s Concert Andris Nelsons conducted a number of premieres that have not previously been heard at the Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Concert. For the first time it featured the Postillon Galop by the Danish composer Hans Christian Lumbye, who first came into contact with music by the Strauß family in Copenhagen and who went on to adapt their style to suit his own.

International release date: 10 Jan 2020
