Description

The “master musician” Sándor Végh was one of those few conductors who had that certain something. Whatever he took on—especially with his Camerata Salzburg—his interpretations were always thoroughly musical, effortless, and compelling. In his hands, even every Mozart “utility music” Andante sounded like a concentrated stroke of genius. That this was by no means only the case with Mozart is proven by recordings ranging from the Viennese Classics to the New Viennese School and beyond. Sándor Végh’s Schubert symphonies are full of spontaneously brilliant surprises, his “Verklärte Nacht” a romantic sonority made flesh, and his Bartók an idiomatically sensitive dream.
