I am tired of correcting this but many people still does the same mistake by labeling this concert as Karajan's last. Has nothing to do with reality since this concert took place in 15.8.1987 and Karajan lived two more years before his death and certainly conducted many concerts (1988 new year concert with Vienna Phil. is one of the more famous ones) and made many recordings.

Summary : This is NOT Karajan's final concert. HIs final concert was with the same orc. and he conducted Bruckner 7.

@arrrrrow The orchestra should look at the conductor. One hundred can look at one but one cannot look at one hundred. By the way, no one got better RESULTS than Karajan. Case closed.

@arrrrrow What rubbish - in spite of your pretensions, you are clearly not very well informed. For a start, Karajan didn't have a "manager" as you put it - do you mean his agent? And what exactly is the evidence for your gratuitous remark about "as long as the check [sic] is big enough"?

I have a tape(not original) from his first consert...

@MsMrgrinch WHO are all these self-important characters who declare "case closed"??!!! WHAT is THEIR competence in this kind of music??!!!

[Gheorgyi]

@arrrrrow The "critical" point, that he doesn't look at the orchestra??!!! Pardon me, I thought the critical point would be the quality of the performance... In earlier times, he did look at it; at this time, he had reached such a connection he may have not needed "to look". "You've met him": should we conclude you were his intimate friend? Maybe he cared more about the quality of the performance than about "the check"? And a manager, notoriously, tends to cheat his customers... (kidding...)

@maganz The "sense" is, really, called "hearing", and the "ears" are just the organs for its first perception - then, there is all the way to the primary auditory cerebral cortex (temporal lobe), which connects with at least four more cortical areas (frontal and parietal lobes).

@MsMrgrinch All these "superior minds" who sentence "case closed" make me laugh. I'd love to see THEM conducting a symphonic orchestra of about 100 components. They look at him because the movements of his hands and his gestuality tells them what to do (as though, at this level and after years of experience together, there were any need...), while he can't develop a divergent squint by looking at the same time at the first violins AND at the basso's. All you ridiculous know-all, pipe down.

Let's not forget, not Karajan created this master piece but Wagner!

@MsMrgrinch I open the case again.Karajan was a manipulator,albeit a very good one.Celibidache,Fricsay,Munch are superior conductors.Case closed.:-)
