I suggest this CD for the people who likes classic music and are sentimental & emotional. It realy invokes your emotions and excite you and give you hope for the life. Love & hope are 2 things we need to survive.

I know that is a bold statement but I believe it sincerely! This was the first piece of classical I ever heard and all my dozens of cd’s have been measured against it since! These symphonies have it all. Just like the ocean that Mendelsohn was sitting by as he wrote there is an obvious rhythm. The music drifts slowly until there is an explosion and a crashing wave of sound that stirs something inside. Then it relaxes…only to crash down again. A very exciting and enjoyable piece of music that never loses its flavor. Just like each individual wave that we ride in surfing is different, so each experience with this piece will be different…check it out, you won’t be sorry…(and the berlin orchestra does a spectacular job!)

These symphonies find Karajan in a positive mood. Even thirty years later, they still sound new and give pleasure. Both works have been lucky on record, so there is little reason to recommend this CD over those by Abbado, Solti, Blomstedt, or Maag. But it is good Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic play exceptionally well – a safe buy.

Those who think that Herbert von Karajan was not on home turf with the basic German repertoire of the 19th century should reconsider after listening to these excellent recordings. The sound quality is excellent as well as the balance and blend of the instruments. The orchestra playing is very precise and expressive. The intonation is very good, something that is not always true of Karajan’s recordings. This is truly beautiful music. Enjoy!
