Notes

Herbert von Karajan masterfully tackles Richard Strauss's monumental Ein Heldenleben, entrusting the Los Angeles Philharmonic with the orchestral texture, rich in thematic and timbral contrasts. The musical discourse unfolds with heroic impetus in the wind and brass lines, while the strings craft the pictorial descriptions of the hero's life with refined clarity. Immediately afterward, Béla Bartók's third concerto page takes on a more intimate feel: Geza Anda stands out as a soloist for his clarity of phrasing and balance between rhythmic vigor and lyrical intensity, supported by the Staatskapelle Dresden in a dialogue that combines virtuosity and solemnity.

The second disc celebrates the profound architecture of Dmitri Shostakovich's Tenth Symphony, in which the Berlin Philharmonic blends tragic vision and serene optimism. Karajan enhances its thematic curves with extraordinary dynamic control, revealing the hidden counterpoints and expressive power of a work that reflects a world between war and hope.
