Rossini Overtures performed by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Herbert von Karajan.
On this album, the master of classical music, Karajan, recreates the light and magnificent overture by Italian opera master Gioachino Rossini with magnificent sound.
Karajan's conducting combines Rossini's lightness and humor with the profound sound characteristic of the Berlin Philharmonic. The balance between clarity and power is exquisite, creating a sense of symphonic scale that goes beyond a simple collection of overtures.
