The music of Schubert played a special role in Vogh's life: he approached it with deep respect and worked painstakingly with it. He often played Schubert's chamber music, including the string quartets, and also, sometimes as chamber partner to Pablo Casals, the B-flat major and the E-flat major Piano Trios, and the C major String Quintet. At the helm of the Camerata he conducted all eight symphonies of Schubert. Recordings of the last four performed by the Camerata Academica under Sa¡ndor Vogh were already available on CD, however, the first four symphonies, composed between 1813 and 1816, have until now not been available in Sa¡ndor Vogh's interpretation. This present compilation contains previously unpublished recordings that were made in the concert hall of the Cologne Philharmonic during the Camerata Academica's Schubert cycle, between 26 May and 2 June 1996.
