The annual Veinna Philharmonic waltz fest, conducted by Franz Welser-Möst for the third time, achieved a 60 percent share of the Austrian television audience, the highest for nine years.

The concert was seen in fewer countries around the world after Russia imposed a cultural boycott, but 90 other nations tuned in. Those viewer numbers are still awaited.

UPDATE: The official estimate is ‘around 50 million worldwide.’
