Camerata Salzburg & Sándor Végh Vegh Conducts Schubert

The music of Schubert played a special role in Sándor Végh s life; he approached it with deep respect and worked painstakingly with it. At the helm of the Camerata Salzburg, he conducted all of Schubert s symphonies. When his illness became more serious at the end of 1996, he studied the score of Schubert s incidental music for Rosamunde (D. 797) while in the hospital, but sadly did not live to conduct it. Of Schubert s eight symphonies, the first four have not been available in Sándor Végh s interpretation until now. This compilation contains previously unpublished recordings made in the concert hall of the Cologne Philharmonic during the Camerata Academica s Schubert cycle, in which all the composer s symphonies were played, between May 26 and June 2, 1996.
