More Details on Karajan - The Legendary Decca Recordings
Herbert von Karajan, the legendary Austrian-born conductor, achieved a position of musical supremacy as director of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra that made him one of the most famous and celebrated conductors of the second half of the twentieth century.
While the majority of his symphonic recordings were made for Deutsche Grammophon, von Karajan also recorded for Decca and EMI during the 1950s and 1960s. This reissued set contains all of his orchestral recordings made with the Vienna Philharmonic for Decca during the late 1950s/early 1960s.
One of the most celebrated of these - and a composer he was closely identified with - is Richard Strauss’ Also sprach Zarathustra – a recording heard by countless people around the globe as the opening was used on the soundtrack for Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey.
