Herbert von Karajan - Live in Berlin 1953-1969 [Remastered 24SACDs BoxSet] (2025) SACD
SACD DST64 & DSD64 (iso) - 34.5 GB
24:25:30 | Classical | Label: Berliner Philharmoniker Recordings
Star conductor Herbert von Karajan is best known today for his studio recordings. However, although as a media pioneer he recognised the technical possibilities for creating recordings, he always considered the live concert to be the ideal. The radio recordings with the Berliner Philharmoniker, which were made in Berlin between 1953 and 1969 and which we present to you in this edition – mostly as first releases – represent an exciting paradox in this respect: they are snapshots that capture the spontaneity of the live performance, the magic of the unique musical moment. Never before has it been possible to experience Karajan the live artist and his joint work with the Berliner Philharmoniker as vividly as in this comprehensive edition.
Berliner Philharmoniker concerts were regularly recorded by radio stations such as RIAS and SFB. They were originally intended for radio broadcast only, not for subsequent release. As a result, very few of these recordings have yet been made available to the general public. So we are all the more delighted to be able to present these exclusive and comprehensive insights into the orchestra’s work together with its former chief conductor.
Berliner Philharmoniker Recordings has had the original tapes of the recordings digitalised in high resolution to meet today’s standards. The repertoire of the edition is wide-ranging and features Karajan – with soloists he held in high esteem – in works from the most diverse periods and genres: from Baroque concertos, German-Austrian Classicism and Romanticism, to Impressionism and Modernism. Arranged in the form of interrelated concerts, this edition also offers a revealing insight into Karajan’s dramaturgical approach.
The hardcover edition, designed by painter and sculptor Thomas Scheibitz, includes the recordings on 24 CD/SACD (hybrid) and an accompanying book with numerous photos and in-depth essays by Karajan biographer Peter Uehling, music publicist James Jolly, and others. Following the release of Wilhelm Furtwängler’s 1939–1945 radio recordings, this is the second major historical edition of Berliner Philharmoniker Recordings, and a further milestone in the documentation of the orchestra’s media history.
