Description:

Böhm burns, Walter sings, and Cluytens decides gracefully. ALTUS 20th Anniversary Limited Edition! This is a 4-CD set of the Vienna Philharmonic's masterpieces recorded by the Allied Occupation Forces Broadcasting Group (the predecessor of the ORF) and the ORF from the rare original master tapes stored in the archives of the Vienna Philharmonic, and which have caused a great sensation! The sound quality has been greatly improved by the new remastering. The booklets also cover the same material as the CDs sold separately. This is a completely limited production, so we recommend you to get it as soon as possible! Böhm's conductor is a master of the 50's and 60's, and his energetic performance is a highlight of the set. The Vienna Philharmonic sings the theme beautifully with their signature portamento, but then they go on to the next, with a powerful, white-hot development of Walther's Mozart No. 40, the eye-opening "Don Juan" with its vivid sound, and the elegant and noble "Ma mère roi" with its endlessly beautiful and noble beauty. The remastering effect is remarkable. The remastering has been remarkably effective, and you will be able to enjoy the exceptional sound of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra of the past in the best sound quality ever, as well as the fascinating brilliance that changes with each conductor.
