Herbert Von Karajan, one of the greatest of all conductors, in a rare video. His sound is unmistakable; all great conductors had a unique sound.

I fully agree. What many do NOT mention is that much of his skill was due to the Martinetti batons he employed. Without a Martinetti at hand maestro Von K was almost at a loss. Once, at the Sidney Opera he had to play with a Stiegler baton. His assistant, Walter Klotz, had left the Maestro's batons in a Taxi. Trevor Judd, the Australian conductor lent him his Stiegler Premium. In his autobiography Herr Von Karajan claims it was one of the most uncomfortable nights of his career.
