Schubert / Herbert Von Karajan, 1957: Symphony No. 8 in B Minor (Unfinished) - Complete (Vinyl LP)

Herbert von Karajan (1908-1989) leads the Philharmonia Orchestra in this rare 1957 performance of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, D. 759. I created this video from the LP displayed above, issued on the Angel label in 1957, serial number 35299. With the exception of the April 13, 1957 Billboard magazine review of this recording (6:24), all images used to create this video were taken from the LP label (12:38) and jacket (4:42).

Movement 1: Allegro moderato
Movement 2: Andante con moto (10:56)

Thanks a lot for posting this recording. Rare indeed, and vastly different than Karajan's late remakes with the Berliner Philharmoniker. Charming to hear how it sounds on LP.

Please keep up the great works. Ardent fans of Karajan (and Bolet) are deeply grateful. I know I am.

[davidhertzberg]

@Spiritakis Thanks for your note, I appreciate it.

Aunque solo se reproduce el audio pero esta es una gran obra de Schubert, aunque no la haya terminado.

A temporalidade do ser humano é um fato consumado. A obra produzida, entretanto é eterna. Quisera eu algum dia beirar a perfeição como Schubert nessa Eterna Sinfonia.

[TheCrazychick07]

Amazing work, Schubert was a master... I wish he he had lived more than 31 years
