Description:

A live performance from September 20, 1981. This CD features the complete recording of the Bhm Memorial Concertthe most famous and legendary of the few regular concerts given by the maestro Jochum and the Vienna Philharmonic. All of these recordings are the first of their kind featuring the combination of Jochum and the Vienna Philharmonic. The final movement of Beethovens Symphony No. 2 is Jochums showpiece. The way it surges forward like a ball of fire in one breath is an unforgettable delight. The profound depth of Mozarts music, brimming with the maturity only a veteran maestro can achieve, blends magnificently with the VPOs beautiful sound within the Musikvereins Great Hall.
