Beethoven Symphony No. 9

Karajan's very best video Beethoven 9th Symphony, recorded December 31, 1977. The Quartet of vocal soloists and Chorus in IV are superb. This is much better than Karajan's 1968 Berlin Philharmonic Beethoven 9 video (DG), filmed in the Philharmonie with no live audience present.

Cast: Herbert von Karajan, José van Dam, Agnes Baltsa, Anna Tomowa-Sintow, René Kollo, Berlin Philharmonic
