Some Johann Strauss for New Year's Day

The Vienna New Year's Concert is an annual concert of classical music performed by the Vienna Philharmonic on the morning of New Year's Day in Vienna, Austria. 

But no, we're not in Vienna and didn't watch it on TV. Instead, I streamed this performance by Jonathan Scott on the organ at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester....


Notice the way that, at times, he plays on two keyboards at once with one hand. That's a neat trick.  He also shows the organ off brilliantly with a wonderful diverse range of registrations. You can find more of his performances on a number of wonderful organs, mostly in NW England, via his website here.
