On this CD of long duration and excellent sound quality, you will be listening to some of the memorable recordings realized by Herbert von Karajan between 1946 til the late fifties. You will have the possibility to enjoy the performance of Philarmonia Orchestra and Wiener Philharmoniker: two of Karajan’s most favourite orchestras. The repertoire presents pieces of the most popular chapters, those which have been appreciated and listened by his large audience. Karajan has been always a careful and sensitive interpreter, capable to enhance the sound charming and the most enjoyable and exciting aspects thanks to his absolute charisma. That charisma which allowed him to use at the best all the resources of the orchestras he collaborated with. The CD features the Austrian conductor in the role of popularizer of the wide symphonic repertoire. A role that was probably particularly congenial to him and that IDIS wants to pay tribute to it by entitling this ultimate release ”Karajan Spectacular”.
