Karajan: Beauty as I see it

The phenomenon that was Herbert von Karajan continues to fascinate us to this day. In his documentary, Robert Dornhelm attempts to identify the man behind the image. Drawing on a wealth of little known archive material, together with statements from colleagues and family members, he creates a multi-layered portrait.
