This is the second volume in prestigious NHK series devoted to never before released live recording of great conductors. Here we have another great figure of the 70s and 80s, Gunter Wand. He conducts the NHK Symphony Orchestra in a classical program: Mozart's Serenades precedere by two Haendel's orchestral showpieces. Gunter Wand studied composition with Phillip Jamach and piano with Paul baumgartner but was a largely self taught conductor. During his nearly seven decade long career he was honored with the German Record Award and the Diapason D'Or.
