Herbert von Karajan - Strauss - Also sprach Zarathustra, Till Eulenspiegel (1974/2015) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

"… the sound is sumptuous, wide-ranging and Karajan's control of the work masterly … this is arguably the library choice …"
- Hi-Fi News & Record Review

"… (a) vividly characterized performance of Till Eulenspiegel … a thrillingly ebullient Don Juan … (and a) powerfully voluptuous account of Salome's Dance. The Berlin Philharmonic plays with great fervour and creates characteristic body of tone in the strings …"
- The Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music

"… definitive in a way that few recordings are: a seamless meeting of minds between composer and conductor … his obsession with detail is clear from the first bar … Karajan's control never falters. In terms of sheer conductor/composer empathy, this remains one of the most perfectly conceived and executed documents ever committed to disc."
- Gramophone

These historic performances from peerless Strauss conductor Herbert von Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker date back to 1972 and 1973; even more than 40 years later, to many critics they remain the definitive recorded versions of these iconic works.
