The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra occupies an outstanding position in the history of the recording medium. Their recordings document not only numerous long-standing relationships with leading performers, but equally their wide-ranging stylistic interests. The present selection, ranging from the Viennese Classical period to the more recent past, also provides a glimpse of the orchestra's changing view of the Viennese Classical period in recent decades. This is exemplified by very different interpretations of the Mozart violin concertos, which were recorded in close proximity to each other.
