Herbert von Karajan: 3 Classic Albums
Michel Schwalba (violin) / Berliner Philharmoniker, Herbert von Karajan

[ Deutsche Grammophon 3 Classic Recordings / 3 CD ]

Release Date: Tuesday 20 October 2015

In Herbert von Karajan the lighter side of classical music found its ideal interpreter, whether of interludes and other orchestral music from operas, light and serious overtures by Rossini and Suppe, or ballets such as Gaite Parisienne, based on Offenbach's operas, and that in Gounod's Faust.

"The conductor shows his mastery of phrase and idiom immediately in the opening La Traviata Prelude which is beautifully done, and the same poise gives distinction to the famous Cavalleria Rusticana Intermezzo and indeed the Puccini items. Where high drama is called for, as in the music of the verismo school, Karajan rises to the occasion and one can hear the resin sizzle as those Berlin string bows bite" - Stereo Record Guide on the Opera Intermezzi
