Karajan Spectacular, Vol. 5

Karajan, Herbert von; Philharmonia Orchestra

IDIS goes on, with this fifth volume of the series “Karajan Spectacular,” in representing some of the most famous Karajan recordings of Fifties and Seventies . This release presents some exceptional works like the lively suite “ Pini di Roma” by Respighi and the touching interlude from Pagliacci by Ruggero Leoncavallo. In a collection that’s ranging from Italy to France to Russia, what’s certainly recognizable is the incredible art and talent of the German conductor who was able to give so much to his ensembles. Austrian conductor Herbert von Karajan was the principal conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic for 35 years. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest conductors of the twentieth century, and was an extraordinary figure in European music from the mid 1950s until his death in 1989. This is largely due in part to the number of recordings that he made and their prominence during his life. During his lifetime, he sold an estimated 200 million records.
