I suppose I could take this opportunity to ask a question that's been on
my mind for years now. I would appreciate to hear everyone's input on this
one. A couple of years back I purchased Mahler's symphony number 5 with
Herbert von Karajan at the podium. I, personally, loved the performance.
I have come to really enjoy Karajan's performances of Brahms and Mahler.
recently I have come to the conclusion that Karajan's conducting is
despised by many people for some reason. I would like to hear from those
who dislike him and/or his conducting. I would also like to hear from
those who like him awell as I do and hear their thoughts on the subject.
Personally, I don;t see anything wrong with his work. I don;t think I ma
a lesser person because I like it.
