The Wiener Philharmoniker, or Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, is an Austrian orchestra based in Vienna, Austria. It is one of the world's most renowned orchestras, and is widely considered to be one of the finest in the world.

The Vienna Philharmonic was founded in 1842 by Otto Nicolai, a conductor and composer who wanted to create an orchestra that would be independent of the court. The orchestra's first concert took place in the Vienna Court Opera House, and since then it has grown to be one of the most acclaimed orchestras in the world.

The Vienna Philharmonic is known for its unique sound and repertoire, which includes works by classical composers such as Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, and Mahler. The orchestra has released a number of critically acclaimed albums, such as Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Mozart's Requiem, and Mahler's Symphony No. 5. The Vienna Philharmonic has also released a number of live recordings, including their legendary New Year's Concert, which is broadcast worldwide every year.

In addition to their classical repertoire, the Vienna Philharmonic has also released several recordings of contemporary music, including works by John Adams, Arvo Part, and Gyorgy Ligeti. The orchestra has also released a number of recordings of popular music, such as their album, The Three Tenors in Concert.

The Vienna Philharmonic is also known for their unique interpretation of the waltz, which has become a hallmark of the orchestra. The orchestra has also made a number of appearances in films and television shows, including The King's Speech and The Grand Budapest Hotel.

An interesting fact about the Vienna Philharmonic is that they are one of the few orchestras in the world that is still composed of unpaid musicians. All of the members are volunteers, and they are all committed to the highest standards of musical excellence.
