Very late in his career Sandor Vegh came together with the orchestra renowned for its supremely Viennese interpretations of Mozart: the Vienna Philharmonic. It was 1991 that Vegh and the orchestra worked together in the Konzerthaus in Vienna, and this led to a memorable concert during the Mozart Week, on January 30, 1992in the Festspielhaus in Salzburg. Sandor Vegh conducted the Symphony in G minor, K. 550 and the Symphony in E flat major, K. 543. The recording of this legendary interpretation can be heard on this album.
