DVD Reviews of Herbert Von Karajan - His Legacy for Home Video: Ludwig Van Beethoven - Symphonies 6 'Pastorale' & 7
DVD Review: pretty good, but not indispensable
Summary: 4 Stars
I concur with an earlier reviewer that the performance of the Pastoral is the more successful of the two here. The 7th is taken at around 33 minutes with the 4th movement very fast indeed, although the Berlin Philharmonic responds well to the conductor's demands and it is exciting listening. The 6th is a bit more relaxed here than in his 1977 studio recording for Deutsche Grammophon, and the oboe and clarinet writing for the transition from the 4th to the 5th movements, when the storm subsides, is quite magically done. I also concur that the conductor receives a disproportionate amount of camera attention and the result makes the video at times a bit too theatrical. I was quite surprised to see Karajan conducting with his eyes open, which he was not reputed to doing, and giving quite a few cues to the players, more than I had expected considering the pedigree of the orchestra and their undoubted familiarity with the music. The lighting was rather mediocre. The audio was clear and well balanced. After the 6th is finished, the closing credits for its production are rolled for about 2 minutes, prior to the start of the 7th. I thought it was rather crass.At 75 minutes it is not a very generous program, I would liked to have heard a short interlude piece between the symphonies and all the credits at the end. The written documentation consists solely of the available titles in the Karajan series.
Taken as a whole, it nonetheless remains an enjoyable video.
