Bamberg Symphony
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bamberger Symphoniker (Bamberg Symphony) is a prestigious orchestra based in the city of Bamberg, Germany. It was formed in 1946 mainly from German musicians expelled from Czechoslovakia under the Beneš decrees, who had previously been members of the German Philharmonic Orchestra of Prague. It is associated with the triennial Gustav Mahler Conducting Prize. The orchestra made a number of recordings for Vox Records with Janos Furst, some of which have been reissued on CD.
