Ms Norman interprets Wagner's Liebestod aria with enormous intelligence and intensity. A genius of American sopranos!

The concert (look the YT vid) is unbelievable, how he shaped the lines with his hands. He was the sorcerer. She was not amused that she should not sing (she prepared her voice before), but he wants to give her an impression about the pianissimo of this orchestra. Unbelievable.

We are so lucky to be witnessing the hard work involved before a finished performance. Karajan demands perfection and gets it. And I don't see a trace of anyone being afraid of him either. What an amazingly dedicated group these people are. Thank you so much for posting such rare footage.

To sit down with the singer is a very special gesture, especially for a titan to do so. I’m sure she enjoyed his hand-ballet too! It’s really an orchestral piece. Having her not sing at first session is just fine. It’s good she knows his priorities intimately, and how much effort his band is putting in for her. ie. 8 minutes of almost aurally invisible tremolo! Worth it!

In the 'Ultimo Concerto' and this one you can see that v. Karajan has found his Diva Ultima for this area in La Norman by his comments to the orch to "support the vocalist" only and by the ecstacy in his eyes as he sings along with her...

It takes a huge amount of talent to render such a complex masterpiece feasible to the orchestra and artistically convincing. His vision of the work and his sensibility to detail is only matched by his capacity to convey his ideas to the players to the extent that his rehearsing seems almost an easy thing.

I am not a Karajan fan, but his rehearsals have completely changed me. He really knew what he wanted to hear. He really knew the orchestra and sound and what the composer meant. I am amazed by him. And please people, get over the better and best thing. It is old, you are allowed to enjoy it all. Why does every video degrade to a better best argument? The video is sublime, get over it.

You may not be a Karajan fan, but I consider myself a Karajan 🥜 nut, and have for decades. And you are absolutely right, he knew exactly the sound he wanted, and he didn't care what he put performers through to get it. Results: His recordings are immortal. I have read books and seen documentaries on Herbert von Karajan, and I don't believe he was a Nazi. He joined because of his career. In a BBC documentary, The Nazis: A Warning from History, a Jewish German Communist said in a interview, that he and his friends thought when Hitler first to power in 1933: "It can't be all bad. Some of the Stormtroopers have Jewish girlfriends. He can't hate all of us." Well, everybody has 20/20 hindsight. Film director Sergei Eisenstein was one of the greats, and at least used to have his films taught in every serious film class. Yet he fervently believed in the Russian Soviet takeover. Does that make his films bad?

Thanks, Herbie, thanks for all of it that you gave us-and thanks to Eliette for being the right person for him, at the right time, in the right and patient way for this to happen for us all!

Usualmente Karajan aparece en todas las fotos y videos ,serio ,inmarcesible, frio,lejano. Aun asi la musica que sale de su batuta es hondamente humana ( no importa de cual compositor se trate o cual pieza interpreta). En esta grabacion,al igual que en la presentacion publica (la ultima de su vida) Karajan aparece vivo,conmovido,dejando atras su hieratismo usual, para entregarnos una pieza hondamente humana y conmovedora. Uno se pregunta si , presintiendo su muerte es su canto del cisne...?
