About

In 2008 the musical world observes the 100th birthday of one of the most widely respected performing musicians of the past century. Born in Salzburg on 5 April 1908, Herbert von Karajan influenced fellow musicians and public taste for generations through his live appearances and recordings especially with the Berliner Philharmoniker

Beethoven, Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic is one of the most perfect combination ever to have been found in the classical music world. Make it the Ninth Symphony at a New Year’s Eve concert and it becomes even more popular as Karajan’s rousing interpretation of Beethoven's most admired symphony has long acquired legendary status!

The Ninth is an affirmation of optimism and beauty, written when Beethoven was almost completely deaf

The final movement is considered by many to be the composer's crowning glory. It had been Beethoven's lifelong dream to set Schiller's “Ode to Joy” to music, for the poem put into words Beethoven's most impassioned desire: peace and brotherhood in the world

Giving eloquent voice to this plea are the world-renowned soloists Anna Tomowa-Sintow, Agnes Baltsa, René Kollo and José van Dam

“One of the signs of a great piece of music, is that it will never come to the end of interpretation. It is like a deep well. You can dip and dip and never come to the end of it." Karajan on Beethoven No.9
