DVD Reviews of Herbert von Karajan - His Legacy for Home Video: The New Year's Concert 1987
DVD Review: Amazing, it's my Karajan's favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
This concert is mythical. Never before I saw so much empathy between the conductor, the orchestra and the audience. The performance is magnificent, the sound impeccable. The video quality is just good, probably because it came from a live televised broadcast, not from film. What happens between Karajan and the audience when playing the final piece makes me shiver every time I see it (I won't tell, buy and see yourself). Karajan was suffering from a lot of pain by that time, and he has difficulties to walk, but when the music begins it's like the pain disappears, and he performs with such energy and joviality that you can see the orchestra really enjoying the magical moment. There are so many favorite parts that I`ll just mention a few of them: the phrasing pauses in Fledermaus overture (Karajan never did that before, nor any other conductor I know), the energy of Thunder and Lightning, the horses (you'll see, it's not just music), Voices of Spring with Kathleen Battle (her voice is so pure), and the Radetzky March (the last piece) with the participation of the audience (it became a custom after this performance). Even if you don't like classical music you'll enjoy this DVD, and you'll probably want to be a music conductor. As a gift to yourself and others, you can't be wrong with this video.
