Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra - "Radetzky March"
One of the world's great traditions is the New Year Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra (in German: Das Neujahrskonzert der Wiener Philharmoniker). The New Year's morning concert is broadcast around the world to an estimated audience of one billion people and includes selections from the Strauss family. It always concludes with the stirring "Radetzky March." The performance above is from the 2007 concert, with Zubin Mehta conducting.
