Performance and conversation: Karajan conducts Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9

In Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony From the New World, Herbert von Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker were able to show the whole of their vast range of tonal colours. In this black and white documentary film from 1966, directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot, Karajan appears not only as the conductor but also discusses his personal view of Dvořák’s most popular work in interview.
