About

Karajan‘s first recording of the Verdi Requiem was made at a time when he was laboriously rebuilding his career. It harbours not only echoes of the war but the uncertainties of the post-war period. Nevertheless, the expressive power and spontaneity of the performance reveal a conductor who commands his audience no less than his orchestra.

This live recording was made in 1949 at the Salzburg Festival with outstanding singers of the time: a very young Hilde Zadek, recently hired by the Vienna State Opera; Margarete Klose, a singer equally admired by Furtwängler; Helge Rosvaenge, the busiest tenor of the period; and the great Boris Christoff.
