    Karajan/Berlin Tchaikovsky Symphonies from December, 1973
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 21, 2016*

Herbert Von Karajan (1908-1989) recorded Tchaikovsky Symphonies 4, 5 and 6 with the Berlin Philharmonic in the 1960s and again in 1975 for DG; and about 1984 with the Vienna Philharmonic, also for DG.  Karajan had a lot of experience conducting Tchaikovsky 4, 5 and 6 over the years!These concerts, done in a studio with an invitation only live audience present, do not duplicate Karajan's audio DG Tchaikovsky.  Karajan has the Berlin Philharmonic playing at a high burn level of intensity and some of the Allegro movements are driven, but not excessively so.  Karajan's approach is not warm like say Ormandy/Philadelphia (Sony) or Ashkenazy/Philharmonia (Decca) were, but Karajan's is a valid approach to Tchaikovsky.I love the virtuosity of the Berlin Philharmonic in this DVD recording!  A listener cannot deny them to be one of the greatest orchestras in the world, along with Philadelphia, the Concertgebouw, and Vienna Philharmonic.Tempos are on the fast side, especially I and IV movements of symphonies.  I like the audio sound: either Stereo or DTS 5.1 Surround.  Picture quality is very good 4:3, good for 1973 and beautifully restored.

    Overrated
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 30, 2010*

I purchased this DVD based on the very good reviews of it posted here. Unfortunately, I feel that these reviews omit certain aspects of the disk that I think should be mentioned. Firstly, the 4:3 aspect ratio. I'm sure this was done in order to optimize the quality of the picture, but the image really looks crammed with all those musicians being fit into a small rectangle in the middle of my 32-inch flat-screen TV. Secondly, the camera work. Some may think that filming the players from one side is cool, but I disagree. As one producer from the series "Keeping Score" put it, when you see a player playing a particular instrument, then you really hear the music coming out of that instrument (or words to that effect). There are very few individual shots of players on this disc. Rather, whole lines of players (winds, for example) are filmed from a side so that the musicians look like they are in a marching band. Thirdly, this is the first time I see Karajan conduct, and he is simply not much fun to watch. He keeps his eyes shut throughout, so that there is no eye contact between him and individual members of the orchestra (which most other conductors must do in order to cue particular players). I'm sure he was able to do this because he had about a million rehearsals with the orchestra before actually performing these pieces in public. What is my point? Well, one really wants a DVD to be a truly satisfying VIEWING experience. Otherwise one could just get a CD of the performance. One last comment: the orchestra is an all male orchestra! (which is rare nowadays).

    Better than Mravinsky
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 28, 2011*

I just listened to the Mravinsky and Karajan recordings of the three great Tchaikovsky symphonies and can aver quite confidently that Karajan equals the interpretive power of Mravinsky and the string play of the BPO really outdo their Leningrad counterparts.One would be foolish not to pick up this DVD at such a bargain price. These symphonies are as natural to the famous Karajan orchestral sound as anything German, and for $20 bucks or so, you can gain access to a live concert with Karajan in the Philharmonie!This deserves a place in every music lover's library. As another reviewer reports, Karajan conjures unbelievable intensity in the first movement of the 4th. I watched this DVD before bedtime (foolish me) and was not able to sleep for four hours afterward!
