The New Year's Concert from in Vienna delights countless spectators every year. The list of star conductors who have conducted this traditional concert reads like a who's who of the international music scene and it is an honor for even the biggest star to be invited by the Vienna Philharmonic. In 2002, this was the renowned conductor Seiji Ozawa, who became music director of the Vienna State Opera that year.

A look at the activities of the Tanglewood Music Center, America's renowned summer Academy for talented musicians, singers, composers and conductors.

Seiji Ozawa conducts the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in this 1993 performance at Berlin's Waldbuhne, an amphitheater tucked into a natural valley and modeled on a similar structure in the ancient Greek city of Epidaurus. From this lovely vantage point, viewers are treated to an evening of Russian favorites, including Igor Stravinsky's "Firebird," Pyotr Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker" suite, Aram Khachaturian's "Sabre Dance" and more.

A triumph of remembrance, wrote Die Welt following this stirring concert given by the Berliner Philharmoniker under Seiji Ozawa and with Anne-Sophie Mutter as soloist. It left its audience hovering between hushed reverence and deafening exultation. The Golden Hall of Vienna's Musikverein was the dazzling venue for the live recording of this concert celebrating the 100th birthday of Herbert von Karajan. And there Karajan s Berliner never sounded better, evoking a time which selfconfidently sought the private and subjective in music, and believed it could find them in the mirror of the works (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung). It is a concert that commemorates Herbert von Karajan for the ages in a supremely moving manner. Beethoven: Violin Concerto, Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 6, Bach: Sarabande,br. Seiji Ozawa, Anne-Sophie Mutter
