  1. The Moldau by Smetana played by The Berlin Philharmonic and conducted by Herbert von Karajan is good. You should listen to it.

    I was going to make this my Hey Dingus song tonight. But I failed miserably trying to get Siri to play the version I wanted.

  2. That Karajan recording of The Planets is, and always will be, my favourite version of the suite. 🥰

  3. I'm searching for a (mis?) remembered statement to his #Denazification board by #Karajan, the German #Conductor (1908-1989).

    I have found the deposition in Appendix C of Osborne's Herbert von Karajan: A Life In Music.

    What I'm looking for are claims that an artist is above politics, that they live and work in a higher plane.

    (I'm also finding no ready mention of his alleged statement to Osborne around Hitler of, "There is no monument to him.")

  4. Nato il 2 marzo 1824, Bedřich #Smetana avrebbe compiuto oggi 200 anni. Se la Moldava è conosciuta anche da coloro che non sanno che scorre in Repubblica Ceca il merito è suo. "Die Moldau" Bedrich Smetana|Berliner Philharmoniker| Herbert von #Karajan - Invidious i.devol.it/watch?v=ZWFwtMWFLdc

  5. I grew up with this guy.

    #Karajan's austere, severe photographs on covers of LPs mirrored my father's perpetual seriousness. The #DeutscheGrammophon logo would announce superiority and domination.
    That yellow ribbon and #HerbertVonKarajan ruled over all of our household's vinyl. His #Beethoven was the paradigm.
    To this day, I reflexively and uncritically equate DG with top quality.

    50 years later, he's still my guy. Especially on a #Sunday. With a cat in my lap.

  6. 23.6.1964 Herbert von #Karajan will nie mehr in 🇦🇹 arbeiten, Verteidigungsminister 🇺🇸 McNamara erklärt, die USA seien bereit, den Krieg in Süd-Vietnam auszuweiten & im Berliner #Todesstreifen stehen die Panzersperren #Berlin:14-19°C, wolkig mit regnerischen Abschnitten. #DDR

  7. Music while hanging out the laundry. Once a demi-god, now forgotten. Herbert von Karajan.
    But this is one of his finest recordings.

    Weber: Invitation to the Dance, Op. 65 (Aufforderung zum Tanze) - Orchestrated By H. Berlioz, 1972 recording.
