About

George Szell was one of the first American conductors of any international standing to return to Europe after the Second World War. He conducted a series of performances of Der Rosenkavalier and a concert with the Vienna Philharmonic at the 1949 Festival. From 1952 onwards he was one of the Festival's regular conductors, and between then and the summer of 1969 he conducted operas and concerts not only with the Vienna Philharmonic but also with the visiting orchestras that from 1957 onwards came to Salzburg each year.

This digibox, containing seven CDs at a special price, features the orchestral concerts that George Szell conducted at the Salzburg Festival between 1958 and 1968. Originally released in 1994/5 but long since unavailable, these recordings are now supplemented by a previously unpublished recording of Szell conducting a concert with the Berlin Philharmonic in 1964.
