WIENER PHILHARMONIKER THE ORCHESTRIAL EDITION 64 CDs BONUS DISC DECCA 2014 MINT This is a hard to get collection of orchestral and concerto recordings, starting 64 years ago, handsomely presented and imaginatively curated.
A document of a label-orchestra relationship, of famous venues and of the art of classical recording. Few labels can claim to be so associated with a city as inextricably as Decca is with Vienna. No history of classical recordings would be complete without a chapter documenting how both Decca and the WP worked to perfect the art of recording in the city s great concert halls, most notably in the famous Sofiensaal.

Decca Classics tell it from today s viewpoint.
A document of a tradition. As long-term Decca producer Christopher Raeburn
summarises: There is a definite tradition in Viennese playing and
interpretation as exemplified by the Vienna Philharmonic, and the collaboration
with DECCA has done much to preserve this quality.
