Recordings of the Winterthur Symphony Orchestra of a worldwide reputation

Willi Germann

Those who travelled the world have always been aware of the fact that «Winterthur» insurance company has made our city a household name anywhere. Yet, it is hardly known at all that the name Winterthur saw recognition all over the world in the 1950ies and 60ies with recordings. Today, Winterthur is still known as a city of music due to these recordings, in particular in Asia.
