中国人对古典音乐的热情在电视产业也创了记录:中央电视台从1987年起转播维也纳新年音乐会,并从1989年起对其进行现场直播。目前这场新年音乐会已成为央视收视率最高的直播节目之一。每年1月l日晚,多达2000万中国观众聆听维也纳爱乐乐团的演出——人数比奥地利人口的两倍还多。 The Chinese enthusiasm for classical music has also set a record in the television industry: CCTV broadcast the New Year’s Concert of Vienna from 1987 onwards and broadcast it live from 1989 onwards. The current New Year’s concert has become one of CCTV’s highest-rated live broadcasts. On the evening of January 1 each year, as many as 20 million Chinese audiences listen to the performance of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra - more than double the population of Austria.
