MP3 320 Kbps | Classical | 12,51 Gb
64 CDs 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 citys great concert halls, most notably in the famous Sofiensaal.

5 Perspectives producers, archivists and record executives from Vienna and London. Dr. Silvia Kargl (WP Archivist) documents the orchestras unparalleled tradition. Three essays by the three great Decca producers Christopher Raeburn, Erik Smith and John Culshaw add the perspective of engineers, producers and executives, while Raymond McGill (Catalogue Consultant) and Paul Moseley (MD 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.
