| Herbert von Karajan was both celebrated and criticized for the "beautiful" sound he cultivated over hundreds of best-selling studio recordings with the Berlin Philharmonic. This four-CD set helps answer the critics by showcasing the conductor at his most intense - live in the 1960s and '70s. Leading the Vienna Philharmonic, Karajan offers more elemental - and, arguably, his most compelling - interpretations of signature works; highlights include Haydn's "London" Symphony, Schubert's "Unfinished," and Dvorŕk's Eighth, as well as Strauss' Also sprach Zarathustra and sacred works by Mozart and Bruckner. Drawn from the Salzburg Festival archives, these recordings - dating from 1964 to 1979, with three of the four discs in stereo - were digitally remastered by Ton Eichinger Studio in Vienna. Packaged in an eye-catching slipcase, the 120-page book features iconic photos of the conductor in action, as well as rarely seen images of the composers. The extensive texts include an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winner Tim Page, a scene-setting note by producer Gottfried Kraus, a penetrating essay by Karajan biographer Richard Osborne ("More Psychology Than Algebra: Karajan and the Vienna Philharmonic") and detailed artist biographies from The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. All texts appear in English, French and German. | |||||
