Info for Live From Vienna

In April 2019, the brass ensemble phil Blech Wien joined forces with Olivier Latry to present an extraordinary programme chosen with the aim of bring the tradition of Viennese sound to a wider appreciation through the merging of two sound worlds—realized through the unique arrangements of Mark Gaal. After a hugely successful first performance in the sold-out Kulturpalast Dresden with its new Eule organ, the concert was repeated and recorded a week later in the Great Hall of the Musikverein in Vienna: Olivier Latry on the 6,138-pipe, 81-stop Rieger organ—which he had inaugurated eight years before—and the 17 other musicians create an atmosphere, beauty and power of sound normally associated with large orchestras.

phil Blech Wien
is an ensemble formed by musicians from the ranks of the Vienna Philharmonic, the Staatskapelle Dresden, the NDR Radiophilharmonie, the Vienna Volksoper, the Tonkünstler Orchestra, the Hanover State Opera and the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg. They made their impressive debut with a brilliant performance in the intermission film of the Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Concert 2013. The musicians play rotary valve trumpet, Viennese horn, trombone, tuba and Viennese timpani, and thus provide an unmistakable, harmonious and round Viennese sound. Their first album was released by Deutsche Grammophon and centered around Wagner and Verdi – 2013 being both composers’ anniversary year.
