How Karajan got his sound
mainThis 1950s clip of Herbert von Karajan rehearsing Schumann’s 4th symphony with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra – where Nikolaus Harnoncourt was principal cello – shows the perfectionism, the precision and the pedantry that went into obtaining the Karajan Sound.
It’s very instructive – not just just for what Karajan does but for everything that Harnoncourt rejected.
