Berliner Philharmoniker / Legendary 1963 / 180gr. |

| Description: | The famous 1963 Karajan Beethoven Symphonies. Karajan recorded the Complete Symphonies of Beethoven no fewer than 4 times for DG, but his first recording, made in 1963, was financially the most daring, artistically the most radical, and commercially the most successful.
It was estimated that over 100,000 boxes would have to be sold if Deutsche Grammophon??s gargantuan 1.5 million Deutschmark investment was to be recouped. The head of a rival company predicted that Deutsche Grammophon was heading for ??a colossal financial catastrophe?. By 1973 nearly one million sets had been sold, ten times the original breakeven estimate. Nearly six decades on from its original launch, the set remains the best-selling Beethoven cycle of all time, both physically and digitally.
The 1963 Berlin set dazzled like no other, aided in no small measure by the clean, clear, daringly ??lit? recordings made in Berlin??s Jesus-Christus-Kirche by the young Günter Hermanns whose debut as Karajan??s principal recording engineer this was. Critics and the record-buying public were enthused above all by the urgency and beauty of the music-making and by a fierce sense of joy which reached its apogee in a thrillingly played and eloquently sung account of the finale of the epic Ninth Symphony. - BERLINER PHILHARMONIKER / LEGENDARY 1963 / 180GR."Beethoven: Die Symphonien" on LP is a landmark collection featuring all nine of Ludwig van Beethoven's symphonies, masterfully interpreted by Herbert von Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker. This edition, released by Deutsche Grammophon, captures the grandeur and emotional depth of Beethoven?s orchestral works with exceptional clarity and dynamic range. The synergy between Karajan?one of the 20th century?s most celebrated conductors?and the world-renowned Berlin Philharmonic results in performances that are both powerful and nuanced, making this set an essential addition to any classical music lover?s library. Deutsche Grammophon, founded in 1898, stands as one of the oldest and most prestigious classical music labels globally, known for its commitment to excellence in sound quality and artist selection.
Herbert von Karajan was a legendary Austrian conductor whose career spanned over five decades. He served as principal conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker from 1955 to 1989?a period marked by numerous acclaimed recordings that have become benchmarks in classical music interpretation. Under his baton, the orchestra achieved international fame for their precision and expressive power. Together with Deutsche Grammophon, Karajan produced some of history's best-selling classical albums. |
