Tibor Kováč
Yiddische Mame

The Philharmonics, the ensemble founded by members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, fill the Café Sperl with some of the most authentically Viennese sounds imaginable – the Strauss waltzes that Schoenberg, Berg and Webern arranged and performed in May 1921 to raise funds for their pioneering “Society for Private Musical Performances”. This is music the players have in their blood, and they maintain the echt atmosphere with Godowsky’s tribute to the city, “Alt-Wien” and a clutch of Kreisler gems, rounding the programme off with a new piece by the ensemble’s leader Tibor Kováč, based on traditional Jewish melodies and Mahler themes, “Yiddische Mame”.

Bonus: How Schoenberg came to arrange Waltzes by Strauss

“… one of the great DVDs of the year.”    Musical Pointers

“Tibor Kováč and his Philharmonic colleagues perform chamber arrangements of Viennese waltzes to the very highest musical level. […] The venerable interior of the  legendary Café Sperl provides them with an appropriate background.“   Wiener Zeitung
