Karajan had been appointed music director for life of the Berlin Philharmonic in 1955, and soon the orchestra mastered the entire palette of Karajan's subtly defined phrasings, moods and orchestral colors. At home in the majesty of Bruckner or the raw power of Beethoven, the orchestra was also able to "let go" with Suppé or a Lisztian Hungarian Rhapsody, as the recording illustrates. For the 1978 New Year's Eve concert with the Berlin Philharmonic, Karajan put together a program of exclusively popular classical works, pieces that would guarantee a bubbly good time. Following Verdi's Overture to "La forza del destino" are the two major works of the program, Bizet's Arlésienne Suite No. 2 and Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. The Hungarian March, or "Rákóczy March," from Berlioz's "La damnation de Faust" never fails to rouse listeners with its instrumentation. The program closes with the Intermezzo from Mascagni's "L'amico Fritz" and the popular Overture to "Leichte Kavallerie" by Suppé.

Gamle, halvsenile Miss Sophie fylder rundt, og hun insisterer på at holde fødselsdag for alle sine venner. Desværre er vennerne bortgået for år tilbage, men den gode butler James nænner ikke at skuffe husets frue og spiller derfor vennernes roller under middagen med alt, hvad det indebærer - og Miss Sophie elsker at skåle... Historien blev oprindelig skrevet som et teaterstykke og fik premiere i London i 1948. Det var først mange år senere, i 1963, at stykket blev produceret til TV, og det var en tysk tv-station, som fik idéen. Det famøse tigerskind, som James snubler over, var oprindeligt ikke en del af sketchen, men da butleren under en teateropsætning af stykket ved et uheld faldt over det, affødte det et sådant grin hos publikum, at tigeren siden hen er blevet en fast bestanddel af historien. Til trods for, at såvel skuespillere som dialogen i stykket er britisk, har sketchen aldrig været vist på engelsk TV.
