UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP New Vienna Octet & Vienna Wind Soloists - Decca Recordings CD

Experience a collection of premier Viennese chamber music with these historic Decca recordings. This limited edition release brings together exceptional performances from the New Vienna Octet, Vienna Wind Soloists, Vienna Flute Trio, and the Wiener Waldhornverein. Much of this music makes its first international appearance on CD, making it a rare find for classical music enthusiasts. These recordings feature players drawn largely from the elite ranks of the Wiener Philharmoniker. The collection includes the legacy of the original New Vienna Octet line-up, led by clarinettist Alfred Boskovsky. Boskovsky, who led the group's first line-up until their final Decca recording in 1972, also spearheaded the revival of the group's name by selecting talented young members from the Vienna Philharmonic to continue the tradition. This set serves as a musical postcard from Vienna, offering high-quality chamber music recorded by some of the most respected musicians in the genre. Whether you are a collector of classical music or a fan of the Vienna Philharmonic, these recordings provide a unique look into the rich history of Viennese ensemble performance.
