Carnival In Vienna - Ormandy - The Philadelphia Orchestra
“Carnival in Vienna” presents a radiant homage to the charm, elegance, and exuberance of the great Viennese musical tradition, interpreted by Eugene Ormandy and The Philadelphia Orchestra at the height of their artistry. Under Ormandy’s inspired direction, the orchestra evokes the splendor and vitality of Vienna’s golden age, where music was both a reflection of daily life and an expression of cultural refinement. This recording captures the city’s festive heartbeat through a vivid succession of waltzes, polkas, overtures, and dances, performed with the sumptuous tonal beauty for which The Philadelphia Orchestra became world-renowned.
