Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan - Ludwig van Beethoven Symphonies Nos. 3 & 4 (1962/2012/2022) [24/96]

The phenomenal rise to fame of the conductor Herbert von Karajan is linked indissolubly with the name of Beethoven. He first reached the heights in 1937, when he was Aachen's General Musical Director (still under thirty years of age, he was the youngest man in Germany to hold such a post), by directing a memorable performance of Fidelio in Berlin. Another landmark in his career is the present complete recording of Beethoven's nine symphonies with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, a series among which the presentation of the 'Eroica' is a greatly admired achievement in its own right. The Berlin Philharmonic is undoubtedly Karajan's orchestra: in 1956, after the death of Wilhelm Furtwängler and an American tour, which Karajan conducted with outstanding brilliance, the orchestra unanimously appointed him artistic director for life. Under his conductorship the orchestra has achieved great triumphs and has deeply moved its listeners both in Berlin and on innumerable national and international tours, above all, perhaps, in performances of the 'Eroica' and the other outstanding symphonies of Beethoven (From the original LP notes, 1963)
