Herbert von Karajan (conductor) / Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra

Description:

Herbert von Karajan was a great conductor who reigned supreme in the 20th century classical music scene with his outstanding musicianship and charisma. In the "Karajan's Legacy" series, which Karajan worked on energetically during the last years of his life in the 1980s, this is one of the Beethoven cycle that he devoted most of his time and energy to complete. Combined with the performance of the Berlin Philharmonic, his mainstay, backed by German tradition and functional beauty, this is a truly immortal symphonic cycle that will never grow old and will live on into the 21st century. The second symphony is a small symphony of about 30 minutes, but it is beautifully performed with the same dashing and lively tempo as the following No. 3, "Hero". Sony Music
