Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic produce a tense sound.
The complex rhythms and intertwining of tones in "Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta" are overwhelming. The coupling with Stravinsky's "Apollo Leading the Muses" is also exquisite, showcasing the diversity of 20th-century music. The exquisite ensemble and clear acoustic balance accentuate the structural beauty of the piece.
