Salzburg Orchestral Concert 1957 : Karajan / Berlin Philharmonic, Vienna Philharmonic (4CD)

HERBERT VON KARAJAN
Salzburger Orchesterkonserte 1957

1957 was Herbert von Karajan's first year as artistic director of the Salzburg Festival, and he was determined to leave the world in no doubt about his versatility as a conductor. Four orchestral concerts featured not only core works from the symphonic repertory but also music with which his name is nowadays only rarely associated.Above all, however, he imported the Berlin Philharmonic and divided the concerts between them and the Vienna Philharmonic, a body of players that had previously had no rivals in Salzburg.
