The program closes with the Intermezzo from Mascagni's "L'amico Fritz" and the ever-popular Overture to "Leichte Kavallerie" by Franz von Suppé The present recording superbly illustrates that the orchestra was also able to "let go" and enjoy a rollicking time with Suppé or a Lisztian Hungarian Rhapsody Additional footage: 60 min. portrait “Impressions about Herbert von Karajan”, featuring Karajan the man and conductor, produced for his 70th birthday. This film by Vojtech Jasny from 1978 shows maestro Karajan not only as a conductor and artist but also as teacher, father, pilot, sailor during his holidays in St.Tropez and gives many professional insights and private impressions.

	Cat. No.: 0734392 Barcode: 0044007343921 Label: DG DVD Release Date: Available Now			HERBERT VON KARAJAN \| Karajan (Beauty As I See It) ARTISTS Herbert von Karajan SBS TO BROADCAST THIS UNIQUE AWARD-WINNING KARAJAN DOCUMENTARY FOR THIS ANNIVERSARY YEAR Herbert von Karajan is acknowledged as the most influential conductor of the 20th century. To commemorate his 100th birthday, this 90 minute film documentary will cast the light on the entire complexity of the Karajan phenomenon. While the film will treat the main stations in his career, it will above all undertake the attempt to uncover the true, personal essence of his unique artist behind the public figure. The film is directed by the Oscar nominee Robert Dornhelm. From the archives of Unitel which was for over twenty years Karajan’s production home a wealth of partly unpublished material such as interviews, rehearsals and current statements, will give rise to the portrait of a man who was full of contradictions and remained a mystery until his death. The film, cast in an essay-like narrative form, and not subdivided into purely biographical chapters, explores topics that are important for understanding Karajan’s work and personality. Interviews featured include those with Eliette, Isabel and Arabel von Karajan, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Seiji Ozawa, Christian Thielemann, René Kollo, Christa Ludwig, Brigitte Fassbaender, Gundula Janowitz, Sir Simon Rattle, Mariss Jansons, Joachim Kaiser and Helmut Schmidt.
