Editorial ReviewsProduct DescriptionThis CD presents, for the first time ever, two live performances of two great masterpieces composed and first performed exactly 100 year apart (1813 and 1913). One was a huge success with the public (Beethoven) starting from its first performance in Vienna. The other (Stravinsky) caused perhaps the most famous musical scandal in history when it was premiered in Paris. Despite the obvious differences, the two masterpieces have one thing in common: the relentless rhythmic drive that runs through the two scores.These are thrilling, electrifying interpretations, more exciting and more convincing that Karajan's studio recordings of the same works.From the ArtistHerbert von Karajan was one of the greatest conductors of the 20th century and the Berlin Philharmonic is one of the world's great orchestras.曲目列表
