About this album
Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker bring symphonic discipline and sheen to two of the repertoire’s most vivid showpieces. Ravel’s Boléro turns a simple rhythmic idea into a gripping orchestral crescendo, while Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, in its orchestral guise, moves through sharply characterised scenes with colour and dramatic weight. Under Herbert von Karajan, the playing is famously precise and luxurious, with the Berlin strings, winds and brass given room to project both clarity and impact. Issued in 1966, this programme reflects the mid-20th-century taste for richly presented orchestral performance and remains a compelling entry point to both works.
