Broadcast on TV and radio to over 40 countries around the world, the annual New Year's Day Concert in Vienna has been an exalted tradition for more than six decades.

As their conductor this year, the Wiener Philharmoniker have invited a NYDC first-timer, Mariss Jansons. Currently the conductor of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam, Jansons's appearances with the Wiener Philharmoniker date back to 1992 and include more than 65 successful concert performances.

Once again, the program is a tasteful mixture of well-known classics and NYDC premieres, which include Johann Strauss II's Bundesschützenmarsch "Auf's Korn!" and Liebesbotschaft-Galopp as well as Eduard Strauss's Telephon Polka française. Two other NYDC premieres give a nod to Mozart Year 2006 - the overture from Figaro and Lanner's waltz Die Mozartisten.

This DVD release includes performances by the Wiener Staatsopern Ballet, joined this year by one of the world's most revered choreographers, John Neumeier. Neumeier has been director and chief choreographer of The Hamburg Ballet for more than 20 years and is a towering presence in the world of dance.
