Karajan conducts Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony at the 1977 New Year’s Eve Concert
This recording from New Year’s Eve 1977 holds a special place among the many Karajan made of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony – not only because of the inspired performance, but also as it was the first occasion a Berliner Philharmoniker concert was broadcast on TV around the world. At the same time, this is one of the few video productions of Karajan which was recorded under completely live conditions.
