In 1913 it moved into the Vienna Konzerthaus. In 1919 it merged with the Tonkünstler Orchestra. In 1933 it acquired its current name. Despite a lull in concert attendance after the introduction of the radio during the 1920s, the orchestra survived until the invasion of Austria in 1938 and became incorporated into the German Culture Orchestras. As such, they were used for purposes of propaganda until, depleted by assignments to work in munitions factories, the orchestra closed down on September 1, 1944.
Their first post-war concert occurred on September 16, 1945, performing Mahler's Third Symphony. Under the direction of Josef Krips, they quickly rebuilt a modern repertoire after ten years of isolation and travelled to the Bregenz Festival for the first time in the summer of 1946.
1946 marked the beginning of the tenure of maestro Herbert von Karajan who, though not principal conductor, worked with the VSO in the "Karajan Series" of concerts, going on extensive tours throughout Europe and North America. In 1959 the VSO performed for Pope John XXIII at Vatican City leading up to the debut of maestro Wolfgang Sawallisch.
Sawallisch's leadership saw a tour of the United States in 1964 as well as a combined U.S.-Japan tour in 1967. It also included the re-opening of the Theater an der Wien in 1962.
Krips returned in the interim between Sawallisch's departure and the arrival of Carlo Maria Giulini as principal conductor. In the 1980s Georges Prêtre took over the maestro's podium and increased the number of concerts on the VSO's schedule as well as infused their repertoire with French music.
The early 1990s saw Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos take over as principal conductor, introducing Spanish music much as Prêtre did. Vladimir Fedosejev became principal conductor in 1997.

Hoy al escuchar al gran Beethoven me acordé, ni idea por que , de un magnífico libro que , vacaciones mefiante, terminé de leer ayer.
Antes me los devoraba , a los libros.No podía ni dormir.
En un periquete me los leía , en caso de entusiamo obvio.
Éste hace unos cuatro meses , religiosamente lo llevo y lo traigo.
Prusiano casi lo mió .
Es que me endilgo ser buena lectora.
Sin comparar :
Un buen libro
vale tanto como una buena composición musical.
A ambas dos eternamente agradecida.
Concierto para piano número 5 de Beethoven.
El infinito es un junco de Irene Vallejo.
Ambos, en distintos tiempos y diferentes razones han enriquecido la mi vivir.
Ni que decir de interpretes , traductores, copistas y reproductores e inda mais😅
Gracias !

Beethoven never died. He simply became music.
@strikeforcealpha9343
He became his art.

@simba_neko
@@strikeforcealpha9343 Yeah. And because of that I hate the clima activists who said: "who is more important for you? Art or humanity?!"

I love that! I’ve often thought Beethoven’s 9th symphony is a spirit that rose out o LVB at the time of the French Revolution, and soars back to earth during WW1 and 2, ands rises again in Japan at New Year and now flies over Europe.
@Saxondog
The opening to the second movement is one of the most beautiful pieces ever written in music.
Hail to you Ludwig.
@katrinat.3032
Yes, I lay with my headphones on in darkness and listen to the 2nd movement. I feel like I’m floating

Derek Bright I have waited for someone to say this. It was my first ever introduction to classical music in the 1980's when a friend said she will show me that classical music can be beautiful. And then put an Lp on the turntable . Gives me shivers by the sheer beauty of it
@heipark6622
The best 2nd movement!
