About this product
Third in the series of Herbert von Karajan Hybrid SACD releases with a new HD 192/24 remastering from the original tapes. The cycle of Franz Schubert's symphonies recorded by Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic in the late 1970s remains an essential staple of the catalogue. The recordings capture the Berlin Inchsignature soundInch of that era a silky legato and incomparable orchestral fluidity, impressive power in the brass and percussion, and a spacious recording quality achieved within the generous acoustics of the Berlin Philharmonie. It is in the final two symphonies that Karajan's conducting fully flourishes. In the InchUnfinishedInch Symphony, he excels at establishing a mysterious and tragic atmosphere. The InchGreatInch Symphony is undoubtedly the jewel of the cycle, where Karajan maintains a constant rhythmic pulse without ever sacrificing the plastic beauty of the sound, with the finale being a true demonstration of controlled power.

This boxset includes the Beethoven recordings made with the Philharmonia Orchestra between 1951 and 1958 the complete symphonies (with the Nos. 8 and 9 in stereo) - Karajan's most highly regarded cycle - as well as three overtures, some arias with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, the Piano Concertos Nos. 4 and 5 with Swiss pianist Walter Gieseking, and finally the Missa solemnis. InchKarajan's 1953 recording of the Seventh Symphony truly is one of the finest performances of the Symphony ever put on disc... his 1954 Pastoral is indeed miraculous.Inch Gramophone

The combination of Karajan and the Vienna Philharmonic playing Mozart and Bruckner drew a Inchpacked and raving audienceInch according to the Guardian of the April 6, 1962 concert at the Royal Festival Hall. The Bruckner symphony received great acclaim with critic Donald Mitchell writing, InchLondon has not heard a Bruckner performance of this quality for years.Inch He went on to add that the music-making was Inchundoubtedly touched by interpretative genius.Inch This 2-CD set preserves the exact concert, including the British and Austrian national anthems.
