About this album

Karajan Conducts Mozart Concertos presents Herbert von Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker in refined, authoritative readings of Mozart’s orchestral writing. Issued in 1974, the release reflects Karajan’s classic approach to the composer: polished ensemble playing, lucid balance and a serenely controlled dramatic arc. With distinguished solo contributions from Andreas Blau, James Galway and Fritz Helmis, the performances highlight Mozart’s blend of elegance, wit and lyrical poise. It stands as a strong example of Karajan’s long association with the Berlin Philharmonic and his influential, highly finished way with the Classical repertoire.
