I have never been a Karajan basher, but for many here, this would not be a
recommendation.  I would be more inclined to compare Gergiev with Michael
Tilson Thomas.  Both are very careful with articulation and phrasing and
bring out the beauty of the music they conduct.  I grab anything I see with
Gergiev conducting.  (Not really much, so far, I admit.)
