The Vienna Philharmonic in concert
The Vienna Philharmonic is one of the great orchestras in the world...and one of the most unusual. They play horns and oboes no one else uses. All the major decisions affecting the orchestra are made by members of the orchestra. And they have no single conductor, they dispensed with that model in 1933. All their conductors are guests, serving at the pleasure of the orchestra. From a concert last month in Lucerne, Switzerland, the Vienna Philharmonic and guest conductor Franz Welser-Most perform the elegant (and cheeky) Symphony No. 98, by Haydn.
