 Rating:  - good value for the moneyNot only is this conductor first class, the recordings are of good quality. The cost is less than $2 per hour of music. Rating: - Histórico KarajanEl sello EMI nos presenta las grabaciones de Herbert Von Karajan, el más carismático Director de Orquesta del s. XX, en el período de su máximo esplendor. Yo tengo los DVD con las Sinfonías de Beethoven y el Concierto para Violín (Op. 61)que son mucho más recientes, pero la intensidad de estas producciones no es igual, pues muestran a un Karajan cansado, ya en el ocaso de su vida, no tan dinámico como en los primeros tiempos, aunque, claro, estas producciones se benefician de los avances ...

Karajan was arguably the most important conductor since Furtwängler and Toscanini, and we are fortunate ... Read More Rating: - Wonderful IssueAlthough it will take me weeks to finish listening to this set, I am very glad that EMI issued this set at such a low price. Many of these recordings are legendary, others are von Karajan's first recordings of symphonies that he would record again and again. While I have his complete Bruckner, Beethoven and Brahms on DG, in is interesting to hear his earlier thoughts--and they are often splendid. I am not bothered by the mono recordings; they were produced by Walter Legge and are warmer than many a digital ... Read More |
