Herbert von Karajan (conductor) / Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra

Description:

Herbert von Karajan, a great conductor who reigned supreme in the world of 20th century classical music with his outstanding musicianship and charisma. From the "Karajan's Legacy" series, which Karajan worked on energetically during the last years of his life in the 1980s, the 8th Symphony is one of the most popular symphonies by Dvořák along with the 9th Symphony "From the New World". The lyrical richness of Dvořák's music and the naturalistic, almost rural atmosphere of his music are expressed very well by Karajan with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. (C)RS
