維也納愛樂樂團(tuán)新年音樂會是古典音樂會，每年元旦上午在奧地利維也納舉行。音樂會通常會選取施特勞斯家族的作品，偶爾也會選取來自奧地利的其他知名作曲家的音樂。新年音樂會的門票一票難求，人們必須提前一年注冊，才能參與下一年門票的抽簽。新年音樂會大受歡迎，這不僅歸功于施特勞斯家族作品的創(chuàng)新力，還要?dú)w功于其對音樂的權(quán)威詮釋。音樂會給維也納金色大廳中的聽眾帶來了愉悅，在全世界也廣受喜愛，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)有90多個國家可以通過電視轉(zhuǎn)播收看。維也納新年音樂會始于奧地利歷史上最黑暗的時期，它表達(dá)了愛樂樂團(tuán)對古典音樂經(jīng)典作品進(jìn)行詮釋的渴望，同時，本著希望、友誼以及和平的精神，樂團(tuán)也希望音樂會能成為奧地利的音樂使者，為全球送去新年祝福。

The CCTV Spring Festival Gala (Spring Festival Gala for short), which was started in 1983, has become an indispensable cultural consumer product and a cultural symbol in the cultural life of the Chinese people. Though it’s hard to satisfy the tastes of all the people, it has to be admitted that the Spring Festival Gala has become a “new custom” for the public that they can’t live without. The Spring Festival Gala is more than a gala; it is a ritual and a symbol, a culture and a label, and an emotion and a place where people entrust their hearts to. With the development of the times and the emerging of new media, the audiences are having more diversified choices and demands. Correspondingly, the Spring Festival Gala is also advancing with the time to satisfy the growing cultural needs of the people.
