Alban Berg claimed The Vienna Philharmonic has long been recognized as the world´s standard-bearing orchestra for music of the late Classical and Romantic eras. In this unique three-CD set of previously unreleased live performances, the VPO applies its glorious sound to the masterpieces of the 20th century, from Stravinsky´s ´Rite of Spring´ (with Igor Markevitch conducting) and scores of the Second Viennese School (with Zubin Mehta and Karl Böhm) to Honegger´s Fifth Symphony (Ansermet), Janácek´s Sinfonietta (Kubelík), Franz Schmidt´s Second Symphony (Leinsdorf) and Egon Wellesz´s rarely heard ´Prosperos Beschwörungen´ (Haitink). Drawn from the archives of the VPO and Austrian Radio, these recordings — dating from 1951 to 1985 — were digitally mastered by Ton Eichinger Studio in Vienna for maximum sonic impact. Housed in an attractive, protective slipcase, the 112-page, hardbound companion book contains iconic images of the composers and rarely seen photos of the conductors in action. The extensive texts include an introduction by Pulitzer Prize–winner Tim Page, a scene-setting note by producer Gottfried Kraus, an essay by renowned critic/author Paul Griffiths (´The Vienna Philharmonic in the 20th Century: Tradition in the Present Tense´) and detailed artist biographies from ´The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians.´ All the texts appear in English, French and German.
