The Story
On the 175th birthday of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, A Sound Tradition, in a knowledgeable and charming manner, tells the story of the birth of the Orchestra, the significance and distinctiveness of this unique musical body, historic facts, interesting anecdotes, and glimpses behind the scenes glimpses of rehearsal, opera and concert activities. Christoph Wagner-Trenkwitz narrates the story of the inception of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in March of 1842, the collaborations with great conductors, the special quality of the “Viennese sound, how the Orchestra embedded itself from the start in the cultural and political history of Vienna and how great personalities and historical events propelled its musical evolution. The Vienna Philharmonic musicians have been both the guardians of a tradition and the bearers of new ideas. The principles and visions of the Orchestra’s founders are reflected in 21st century commitments to social responsibility, international youth programs, local and global initiatives promoting peace and cultural understanding. The sound of an orchestra cannot be contained within the two covers of a book; but historic facts arranged in a casual format, anecdotes, and behind the scenes glimpses of rehearsal, opera and concert activities, along with the development work for the future allow us to access a deeper understanding and even greater affection for this thoroughly Viennese and yet international orchestra. With extensive illustrations and photographs from the Vienna Philharmonic archives.
