This 1985 video shows the legendary Herbert von Karajan, the greatest conductor of all time, leading the Berlin Philharmonic in Beethoven's "Egmont" overture.
This is an excerpt from one of von Karajan's Legacy videos of the 1980s, in which he filmed his performances of the core classical repertory. They are the finest concert films ever produced. 37 of these videos have been issued on the Sony label, but this excerpt comes from one of the films that has not yet been been released. (It was, however, broadcast in Sept. 2000 on American television, from which airing the current S-VHS video was recorded.)
A list of some of the finest Karajan film recordings appears here:
2008 marks von Karajan's 100th birthday, and to honour the occasion, it is hoped that Sony will release the remaining Legacy films (including the compilation of Beethoven overtures) which aficionados have been awaiting for years.

...y eso que el genio de Beethoven,nos dejo solo dos "Oberturas".
Perhaps the most powerful piece ever written. Carving, sawing violins, an all-sides bombardment of rolling power, it is simply wonderful
