Free Music Notes for Karajan: Legendary Decca Recordings Album
Free Music Review: A Great Reissue But Disappointing Presentation
Hit: 5 Stars
These are all wonderful performances from the peak of Karajan's career, and fabulous Decca recorded sound that has rarely if ever been surpassed in almost 50 years since. I even enjoyed the two Brahms symphonies more than some other reviewers seem to have.
I was, however, disappointed in the accompanying booklet, which did not seem very complete or adequate for a box like this. There's a general essay about Karajan's career, but nothing about the circumstances of these particular recordings. The booklet also omits specific recording dates and production credits -- certainly not up to the standards of DG's "Originals" series or other historical reissues. Nevertheless, if you know any of these recordings or are just wondering what all the fuss is about on the 100th anniversary of Karajan's birth, grab this before it disappears!
