During Eugen Jochum's 1949–59 tenure as conductor of the Sinfonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, he transformed a radio orchestra into a first-class ensemble of worldwide reputation. These previously unreleased recordings from that era include Richard Strauss's Four Last Songs with soprano Annelies Kupper, and W.A. Mozart's Rondo for Piano and Orchestra in D major, K. 382, with Edwin Fischer. This anthology spans centuries and styles, with the inclusion of Maurice Ravel's Daphnis and Chloë, Suite II, plus the overtures to Handel's Agrippina and Johann Strauss II's Die Fledermaus.
