What an incredibly picturesque way of using his hand. My favorite moment is at 8:27 - just look how he asks for deeper sound with his hands!

Wow, what a towering figure is Karajan. I must say it must have been quite intimidating to hear him instruct, especially in that rigid German he spake.

"Remember, you're a human voice." I love that!!!

@Whaddafuq He may be rigid, but he is incredibly kind, always telling his musicians what to do without getting mad even when they don't get it the first time.

Was he a smoker?

that's ridiculous! Why did Karajan record his Mahler recordings with the BPO right after Bernstein performed the symphonies with them? Bernstein had his own, unique style. Go and listen to his Mahler, Beethoven and Haydn for instance.
Christa Ludwig said: "Karajan was a ingenious performer - Bernstein was a genius". I think that tells it all.
I actually admire both - for different reasons.
-
it's well known that Karajan got up every day at 4 am to memorize scores/ I guess that's the reason he doesn't need a score.

Actually, yes he was.
I'm just saying, most conductors (myself included) can't rehearse an entire symphony virtually from memory.
does anyone know where I can download this? I can't buy it in my country, nor use a PayPal account to buy it online.
