It was pleasing to find that the parish authorities in Anif were prompted to finish months of slow restoration work on the grave of Herbert von Karajan just in time for the Easter holidays.

Less known is the proximity to Karajan’s grave of the former Sony chairman Norio Ohga, who was visiting the conductor at the time of his death and considered himself a close friend.

Sony will doubtless be keeping an eye on further maintenance work at Anif.
