As a two-disc summary of Herbert von Karajan s career with Deutsche Grammophon, this set, called Karajan Gold, can t be bettered. Though the choice of repertoire emphasizes the Austrian maestro s lighter side -- there s no Bruckner or Mahler here to disrupt the flow of instantly identifiable masterpieces -- the selection still highlights what Karajan could do with an orchestra. Drawn predominately from his work with the Berliner Philharmoniker from the later part of his career, these recordings show that few conductors had such consummate control of their forces as Karajan. From the whiplash tutti crash of Bizet s Carmen Prйlude through the smooth string legato of the Valse from Tchaikovsky s Serenade for Strings, the adeptly modulated crescendo of Ravel s Bolйro and the starkly sculpted structure of the Allegro con brio from Beethoven s Fifth Symphony to the richly flowing sonorities of the Moldau from Smetana s Mб Vlast, Karajan is clearly in complete control of every aspect of the music-making. And with that control, Karajan creates performances of unsurpassed sumptuousness. The tonal opulence of his Vivaldi, Bach, and Pachelbel may seem overdone to fans of the purer tone of historically informed performance practice and the sonorous depths of his Grieg, Suppй, and Offenbach may seem over-plumbed to fans of more lively performance styles. But few would argue that the result is not 21 tracks of purest Karajan gold captured in either splendid stereo or deluxe digital sound.
