Karajan conducts Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony
The emotional and real storms in Beethoven’s Pastoral are vividly expressed in this rousing performance from 1967 with the Berliner Philharmoniker and Herbert von Karajan. These are intensified all the more by the award-winning avant-garde director Hugo Niebeling’s innovate and often expressionistic film concept: an experiment whose aesthetic boldness impresses to this day.
