Salzburg, Austria
The Vienna Philharmonic is the king orchestra here: the resident orchestra, the nightly orchestra. But there are guests, including the Philharmonia Orchestra. This is a London group, founded in 1945 by Walter Legge, a famous English record producer — who was married to Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, the German soprano, who was a big star at this festival, the Salzburg Festival (and everywhere else).
