This is a used item. This is one CD from the Shogakukan CD Magazine Enchanting Masterpieces of the Vienna Philharmonic series. This listing is for the CD only (the booklet is not included).

This is a masterpiece full of Viennese charm, loved even more than 100 years after Schubert's death. The first half features dances and interludes from the incidental music to Rosamunde, which are both lovely and somewhat melancholic. The second half is Schubert's Symphony No. 8 (formerly No. 9), The Great. As the name suggests, it is a masterpiece boasting heavenly beauty and overwhelming scale.

The performance is by the incredibly luxurious Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Münchinger's Rosamunde features the elegant and supple sound of Viennese tradition, highlighting the work's delicate charm. Particularly noteworthy is Kertész's The Great. The young genius Kertész freely manipulates the rich tone of the Vienna Philharmonic to create a dynamic performance that combines power and delicacy. The sound of the renowned orchestra's golden age maximizes the romanticism of the work, inviting listeners to a blissful moment.
