Broadcast on TV and radio in over 40 countries around the world, the New Year's Concert is undoubtedly one of the biggest classical music events in the world. Now, thanks to DVD, we can enjoy this wonderful spectacle whenever you wish. Relive the wonderful melodies and delightful atmosphere as Vienna celebrates the ringing in of another year as only they can! The concert includes not only favourite orchestral items from the Strauss family played by one of the world's greatest orchestras, but also winningly beautiful ballet performances, too.

For 2005 the Wiener Philharmoniker invited Lorin Maazel to be their conductor, and Maestro Maazel had more than one reason to celebrate: on 6 March he celebrates his 75th birthday, and this concert was also a silver jubilee for him, for it is 25 years since he was first invited to direct the orchestra at this event.

Thanks to the varied output of the many members of the Strauss family and associates, there were again no fewer than five pieces that received their New Year's Concert premieres: Indigo-March and Haute volee-Polka by Johann Strauss, a waltz called Lustschwarmer and the quick Polka Winterlust by Joseph Strauss, as well as the Polka francaise Auf Wiener Art by Joseph Hellmesberger, jr.

For the ballet scenes, Vladimir Malakov, director of the Berlin State Opera Ballet, brought along his beautiful young soloist Polina Semionova - gold medal winner of two Moscow Ballet Competitions and the "rising star" of the classical ballet world. It was the first time she had performed in Austria. Vladimir Malakov was not only the choreographer but also joined Polina for Ein Herz, ein Sinn as her partner. Another highlight for the DVD was be the participation of the Italian soloist Giuseppe Picone.
