I don't sorry... but I wish i'd seen that as well!

thankyou so much for posting Joeleole - a great companion for the video of the performance.

...a performance that grabs the human heart as we watch it, knowing this is Karajan's last performance, knowing that he still had so much to offer life, not just music, but wisdom and the delicate touch of a human heart that went through and beyond music, magical, magnificent music. . . .

Thanks, Herbie, thanks for all of it that you gave us—and thanks to Eliette for being the right person for him, at the right time, in the right and patient way for this to happen for us all!

We are so lucky to be witnessing the hard work involved before a finished performance. Karajan demands perfection and gets it. And I don't see a trace of anyone being afraid of him either.

What an amazingly dedicated group these people are. Thank you so much for posting such rare footage.

I am not a Karajan fan, but his rehearsals have completely changed me. He really knew what he wanted to hear. He really knew the orchestra and sound and what the composer meant. I am amazed by him.

And please people, get over the better and best thing. It is old, you are allowed to enjoy it all. Why does every video degrade to a better best argument?

The video is sublime, get over it.

@michaels7 -Besides the above names you can add Ponselle,Caballe,Nillson,Flags­tad,and a host of others that were better. Music being subjective-I too should not be so opininated
