Herbert von Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker are many things, but they are not French. And while critics have complained that in these performances La Mer sounds like the North Sea, Daphnis et Chloé sounds like Siegfried und Brünnhilde, and Boléro sounds like a polka, it's simply not true. Naturally, they don't sound French: the lightness, elegance, and luminosity that are hallmarks of the French style are wholly wanting here. But with Karajan on the podium and the Berlin orchestra in the pit, these performances have other virtues. First, they are supremely polished.

Dialogue Du Vent Et De La Mer (Anime Et Tumultueux). Prelude a L'apres-Midi D'un Faune. Daphnis Et Chloe Fragments Symphoniques - 2e Serie. Lever Du Jour (Lent), Pantomime (Lent-Tres Lent-Vif-Tres Lent), Danse Generale (Lent - Anime).

Under Herbert von Karajan the Berliner Philharmoniker developed their very own performance culture, characterised by a beauty of sound, enchanting legati, virtuosity and perfection. He preferred to concentrate on the classical-romantic repertoire: Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, Schumann, Tchaikovsky, Wagner and Strauss. In addition, he devoted himself to the Second Viennese School and leading composers of the early 20th century like Ravel, Stravinsky and Debussy, taking occasional excursions into the contemporary era with works by Messiaen and Henze, even Penderecki. The Herbert von Karajan Conducting Competition, first held in 1969, was springboard to an international career for young conductors like Mariss Jansons and Valery Gergiev. Karajan promoted promising talents even beyond that, including Claudio Abbado, Seiji Ozawa and the violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter.

Thank you for your understanding. Celelbrated for his intimate knowledge of the symphonic contributions of German Romanticism's great masters, Herbert von Karajan also explored the masterpieces of French composers with the Berliner Philharmoniker in great detail. His almost-obsessive quest for sonic perfection was particular intriguing when applied to French Impressionism, like the masterpieces of this program.
