About

A lavish, first cohesive trilogy from Sibelius with its wild triumphant overtones. Karajan as guest conductor of Walter Legge’s superlative Philharmonia Orchestra which he had just assembled for the greater benefit of 20th century composers such as Bartók, Roussel and Stravinsky. A milestone performance.

Magisterial accounts of the Fifth and Seventh Symphonies frame Herbert von Karajan’s lucid control of the emotionally elusive Sixth. The Philharmonia delivers superbly responsive playing, with revitalised 1950s recordings of stunning immediacy.
