Vienna Philharmonic: New Year's Concert (2012)
Music
The 2012 Vienna Philharmonic New Year’s Concert will be conducted by the Latvian conductor Mariss Jansons. Ever since the first concert together in April 1992, Mariss Jansons has belonged to the circle of conductors with whom the Vienna Philharmonic feels a special bond. The invitation to conduct the 2012 New Year’s Concert marks the approaching 20th anniversary of this collaboration, which since its onset has been characterized by mutual artistic and personal understanding as well as great respect.
Since 2003, Mariss Jansons has been Principal Conductor of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and in 2004 became Principal Conductor of the Concertgebouw Orchestra as well. From 1979 until 2000 he was Principal Conductor of the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra, an ensemble which he formed into an orchestra of considerable international renown. Mariss Jansons has also had a long association with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic. From 1992 to 1997 he was Principal Guest Conductor of the London Philharmonic and from 1997 to 2004 he was Music Director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.
2012 will be the second appearance for Mariss Jansons as conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert. His first New Year's Concert in 2006 was widely acclaimed by both audiences and the media. In January 2011, Mariss Jansons conducts the Vienna Philharmonic in works of Shostakovich, Mahler and Berlioz.

AC/DC: Let There Be Rock (1980)
Documentary | Music
The only movie powered by AC/DC. This legendary concert film, covering a 1979 Paris concert during the Australian heavy metal band's "Highway To Hell" tour showcases the power and precision that the quintet bring to vicious rockers like "Whole Lotta Rosie" and "Let There Be Rock." Pixie-ish lead guitarist Angus Young, attired in his trademark school-boy's uniform, takes center stage with his energetic antics and frenetic solos, while the rest of the band crank out their minimalist boogie with quiet determination. Interview segments and humorous backstage footage show another side to the thuggish musicians, especially AC/DC's flamboyant lead singer Bon Scott, who died two months after this filmed concert.
Starring: AC/DC, Phil Rudd, Ronald Belford Scott, Cliff Williams, Angus Young, Malcolm Young
