Wiener Symphoniker Archive

STRAUSS family: Ov. to “Die Zigeunerbaron”, Polkas and Waltzes – Wiener Symphoniker /Manfred Honeck – 48/24 download
Manfred Honeck’s new selection deserves serious consideration with its winning combination of careful preparation and sparkling spontaneity.

BRAHMS: Symphony No. 1 in C Minor – Vienna Philharmonic/ Sergiu Celibidache – Wiener Symphoniker
A rare document from the Vienna Symphony archives, a reading by a still-developing Sergiu Celibidache in the Brahms C Minor Symphony, a reading of more persuasion than sheer epic power.
MAHLER: Symphony No. 10 in F-sharp Major (first two movements); Symphony No. 3 in D Minor – Hildegard Roessl-Majdan, contralto/Wiener Saengerknaben/Wiener Symphoniker/F. Charles Adler – Music & Arts
Mahler from one of the composer’s original acolytes, and so it presents what might well have transpired in an authentic Mahler performance.
