AT any other time, New Year means endless Johann Strauss, with orchestras imagining theyâre in Vienna, churning out Blue Danube waltzes and the Tritsch Tratsch Polka. Thanks to Covid weâll be largely spared all that. But if Strauss waltzes are your thing, youâll be relieved to know that the famous New Yearâs Day Concert given by the Vienna Philharmonic is still happening, conducted this time by Riccardo Muti. And though it will play to an empty hall, which sounds like even less fun than usual, you can watch it on BBC Two at 10.15am this Friday â with the whole thing then shunted onto the BBC iPlayer for viewing on demand. If nothing else, it will have the poignancy of being one of the great European celebrations which, as from now, we Brits can only stare at from afar: no longer party to the party.
