Das Wunder Karajan
Today we focus on Herbert von Karajan. For some he was a genius, for others a mystery – but for everyone a conductor who permanently shaped the sound of the 20th century.
Karajan was a perfectionist, an innovator and an aesthete, yet also someone who could not always avoid controversy.
