CRITIC REVIEW: “After the war (between 1952 and 1973), Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt made, with his orchestra of Radio Hamburg, over 45 recordings for eight different recording companies (Decca, Electrola, DGG, among others), that have been reissued on CD. On the other hand, and curiously enough, his Telefunken recordings (1953-1959) have never been reissued on CD. We are now doing this with the present set. It is a rediscovery to which we have added a very rare live recording that Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt recorded on tour in Australia in 1956, with the Sydney symphonic Orchestra (Haydn’s ‘Oxford’ Symphony). The original recordings have undergone careful restoration and remain an example of Telefunken’s excellent recording technique.”
