About

This 17-CD limited edition set encompasses the 70-year history of one of Germany’s leading orchestras, and presents no fewer than 5 CDs of world premiere recordings by luminaries such as Kertész, Sinopoli, Blomstedt as well as definitive recordings by all the famous conductors who shaped the orchestra’s distinctive Bohemian style.

Apart from DG’s own repertoire, this set contains recordings licensed not only from various radio stations, but also from numerous classical labels that the orchestra has worked with over the decades (among them Warner, Sony, Tudor and Orfeo). Highlights include some rare historical recordings going back as far as 1940 when the Bamberg Symphony was still the Deutsches Philharmonisches Orchester Prag.

Booklet includes new liner notes by the renowned journalist Wolfgang Sandner, plus many rare colour photographs.
