Symphonie n°5, symphonie n°10

Description

In 1966, Herbert von Karajan recorded an interpretation of Beethoven's 5th Symphony with the Berliner Philharmoniker that will remain historic. Tribute to Herbert von Karajan (1908-89), the legendary conductor who brought 'serious' music to television and made a splash by adding Shostakovich's 10th Symphony to his repertoire, even recording it twice. Beethoven's 5th has become, in its post-Napoleonic and then European context, the most performed work in the world - today joined by Schubert's Unfinished Symphony. Since its creation in 1953 by E. Mravinsky, this work has ultimately imposed its unsettling universality. The sense of grandeur and the perfection of form make this interpretation by Herbert von Karajan, captured in 1966 in Berlin, a reference version.
