Karl Böhm (1894-1981) recorded a session with the Vienna Philharmonic between the ages of 77 and 78. The 8 original albums of Johann Strauss have been reprinted on SA-CD for the first time in the world. This album can be said to be a performance unique to Böhm, who has pride and pride as an Austrian. In his later years, he was awarded titles such as `` General Music Director of the Republic of Austria '' and `` Honorary Conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra (founded especially for Böhm in commemoration of the 125th anniversary of its founding in 1967) '', and the relationship is very It gained popularity especially in Japan through many successful performances with the Vienna Philharmonic and recordings for DG. Not only a composer related to Vienna, but as an authority on German music in general, he had overwhelming ability alongside Karajan at the time, and the rehearsal scene that remains today and the strictness that is conveyed by the orchestra members at that time. Strong music making was supported. On the other hand, there is an opinion that the performance related to Johann Strauss, which is the exact opposite of the music, is not suitable for Böhm, so this DG sound source may not have been common until now. However, for example, when I listen to the lively expression of "The Beautiful Danube" played in the encore at the concert, that idea is dismissed. It is easy to think that Böhm's unique performance with a low center of gravity and a strict emphasis on vertical lines, but in fact, you can understand that it is a proud performance that respects the artistry of his works as much as possible. Of course, the performance of the best orchestra, the Vienna Philharmonic, is also important, and this recording makes you feel the dignity of Böhm, who loved Vienna. In addition, Böhm's real voice is included behind the last "perpetual movement".
In this reprint, as in the conventional project, we have newly digitized from the original analog master tape in Germany, but the sound quality of this Strauss was excellent. From the close sound image up to the 60's, DG aims to create a moderate sound image of the instruments with a focus on the entire orchestra in the 70's, and the moderate indirect sound and collectiveness as a mass have improved remarkably. The appropriate sound image and the texture of each instrument were wonderful, and it was a suitable sound source for high-quality sound. The recording has the highest quality of expressions that make you feel the dignity of Böhm and the rare tone of the Vienna Philharmonic.
