C 7422

Sándor Végh was a supreme musician and one of those few conductors who possessed indefinable qualities. Whatever he touched – especially when performing with his Salzburg Camerata – it was always musical, light and exciting. He never indulged in extremes of tempo and volume, focusing instead on the effectiveness of phrasing and sparkle, making even the least of Mozart’s occasional pieces sound like works of ardent genius. This box proves (if it needed proving) that these skills also applied to the output of other composers, from those of the First Viennese School to the Second Viennese School and beyond. His Schubert Symphonies are pure classical joy; his Transfigured Night a manifestation of late-romantic beauty; his Bartók idiomatic and highly attractive.
