Notes
Erstmals macht diese Edition die bisher unveröffentlichten frühen Live-Mitschnitte Herbert von Karajans von den Luzerner Musikfestwochen zugänglich - entstanden in einem Jahrzehnt; in dem Karajan seine Karriere neu aufbaute. Mit dabei sind legendäre Solist*innen wie Clara Haskil und Géza Anda; Robert Casadesus und Nathan Milstein. Die Internationalen Musikfestwochen Luzern (das heutige Lucerne Festival) waren der erste Veranstalter außerhalb Österreichs; der Herbert von Karajan nach seinem Auftrittsverbot und Entnazifizierungsverfahren engagierte und ihm damit die Rückkehr auf die internationalen Podien ermöglichte. «Das werde ich nie vergessen»; bekannte Karajan später. Fast vier Jahrzehnte lang; von 1948 bis 1988; sollte er Lucerne Festival seinen Stempel aufdrücken. Seine jährlichen Gastspiele mit den Berliner Philharmonikern (ab 1958) genossen Kultstatus. Doch schon i'm Jahrzehnt zuvor; das die vorliegende Edition dokumentiert; begeisterte Karajan in Luzern Publikum wie Kritik und stieg rasch zur prägenden Künstlerpersönlichkeit neben Wilhelm Furtwängler auf: mit dem Philharmonia Orchestra und den Wiener Symphonikern; vor allem aber am Pult des von ihm hoch geschätzten Schweizerischen Festspielorchesters; das er in insgesamt neun Konzerten leitete. For the first time; this edition makes available Herbert von Karajan's previously unpublished early live recordings from the Lucerne Music Festival - made in a decade in which Karajan was rebuilding his career. Included are legendary soloists such as Clara Haskil and Géza Anda; Robert Casadesus and Nathan Milstein. The Lucerne International Music Festival (today's Lucerne Festival) was the first organiser outside Austria to engage Herbert von Karajan after his ban from performing and denazification proceedings; thus enabling him to return to the international podiums. "I will never forget that," Karajan later confessed. For almost four decades; from 1948 to 1988; he was to make his mark on Lucerne Festival. His annual guest appearances with the Berlin Philharmonic (from 1958) enjoyed cult status. But already in the decade before; which this edition documents; Karajan thrilled audiences and critics alike in Lucerne and quickly rose to become the defining artistic personality alongside Wilhelm Furtwängler: with the Philharmonia Orchestra and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra; but above all on the podium of the Swiss Festival Orchestra; which he held in high esteem and which he conducted in a total of nine concerts. The preserved Lucerne live recordings range from Bach's C major Concerto for Two Keyboard Instruments BWV 1061 (with Clara Haskil and Géza Anda) to Arthur Honegger's Symphonie liturgique. The exciting; rhythmically tightly formed interpretations show Karajan to be an extremely form-conscious; textually faithful conductor of great expressive power. He spurs his orchestras on to top performances; but also acts as a sensitive and at the same time extremely present accompanist - for example in Brahms' Violin Concerto with Nathan Milstein or in Mozart's dramatically pointed C minor Concerto K. 491 with Robert Casadesus. As a digital bonus; the edition includes Bach's Mass in B minor; which Karajan celebrated at the end of the 1951 festival with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra; the Vienna Singverein and a top-class quartet of soloists (Elisabeth Schwarzkopf; Elsa Cavelti; Ernst Haefliger and Hans Braun): a stylistically distant; but nevertheless fascinating audio document due to Karajan's very personal approach. The sound of the live recordings on the 3-CD box set has been carefully restored. The 62-page; trilingual booklet contains essays by Wolfgang Rathert and Erich Singer on Karajan's new career start in the post-war years and on his special relationship with Lucerne Festival. It contains numerous previously unpublished photos.

    I had a very positive experience. My three box sets were shipped quickly with UPS signature required, the price was very good and they were well packaged, this is a very big company and I sent a few messages and didn’t get a response from a person. I did get a prompt return message but each time it was a computer generated message. Other than that I received excellent service. 5STARS*****

    Fast shipping in careful, thoughtful packaging. Product matched the listing condition (new), but didn't match the listing description. There was an article missing; however, the item received was brand new in factory seal so I blame the manufacture for the error. Regardless, spoke with customer service and they were very fast and friendly in response. I've bought a fair amount of stuff from them in the past and can't wait to buy from them again. 100%. Great company.
