Der Hund Von Blackwood Castle The Monster of Blackwood Castle(1968)

Herbert von Karajan (German: [ˈhɛɐbɛɐt fɔn ˈkaraˌjan] (About this soundlisten); born Heribert Ritter[a] von Karajan; 5 April 1908 – 16 July 1989) was an Austrian conductor. He was principal conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic for 34 years. During the Nazi era, he debuted at the Salzburg festival, with the Vienna Philharmonic, the Berlin Philharmonic, and during the Second World War he conducted at the Berlin State Opera. Generally regarded as one of the greatest conductors of the 20th century, he was a controversial but dominant figure in European classical music from the mid-1950s until his death. Part of the reason for this was the large number of recordings he made and their prominence during his lifetime. By one estimate, he was the top-selling classical music recording artist of all time, having sold an estimated 200 million records.

Sweet In some ways, the Sweet epitomize all the tacky hubris and garish silliness of the early '70s. Fusing bubblegum melodies with crunchy, fuzzy guitars, they looked like a heavy metal band but were as tame as any pop group. It was a dichotomy that served them well as they racked up several hits in the U.K. and the U.S. The Sweet were smart enough to latch on to the British glam rock fad, building a safer, radio-friendly, teen-oriented version of Queen, T. Rex, and Gary Glitter. By the end of the '70s, the group's time at the top of the charts had expired, but their hit singles lived on not only as cultural artifacts but also as the predecessors for the pop-metal of the '80s. The band's competing incarnations, led by bassist Steve Priest and guitarist Andy Scott, continued to perform live and occasionally record into the early 2020s.

Camelot, Jennifer Castle’s extraordinary, moving chronicle of the artist in early middle age, charts a realer place than the legendary Camelot of the British Early Middle Ages, but it too is a space more psychic than physical. In Castle’s Camelot, the fantastic interpenetrates the mundane, and the Grail, if there is one, distills everyday experience into art and art into faith, subliming terrestrial concerns into sublime celestial prayers to Mother Nature, and to the unfolding process of perfecting imperfection in one’s own nature: “Back in Camelot / I really learned a lot / circles in the crops and / sky-high geometry …” Camelot, the legendary seat of King Arthur’s court in Early Middle Ages Britain, was probably not a real place. A corruption of the name of a real Romano-Briton city, the word “Camelot” accumulated symbolic, mythic resonances over centuries, until achieving its present usage as a near-synonym of “utopia.” In the mid-20th century alone, Camelot inspired an explosion of representations and appropriations, among them the violent, affectless Arthurian court of Robert Bresson’s 1974 film Lancelot du Lac and the absurdist iteration of Monty Python’s 1975 Holy Grail, both of which feature armored knights erupting into fountains of blood; the mystical Welsh world of novelist John Cowper Powys’s profoundly weird 1951 novel Porius, with its Roman cults, wizards and witches, and wanton giants; and the nationalist nostalgia of President John F. Kennedy’s White House. Unsurprisingly there are fewer Camelots in more recent memory.

Herbert von Karajan was the most renowned conductor to emerge from Europe in the post-World War II era – and through fortuitous timing throughout his career, and in spite of controversy that dogged his early years, he was the most recorded conductor of the 20th century, and is likely to remain one of the most visible (and biggest-selling) conductors well into the 21st century.

Star conductor Herbert von Karajan is best known today for his studio recordings. However, although as a media pioneer he recognised the technical possibilities for creating recordings, he always considered the live concert to be the ideal. The radio recordings with the Berliner Philharmoniker, which were made in Berlin between 1953 and 1969 and which we present to you in this edition – mostly as first releases – represent an exciting paradox in this respect: they are snapshots that capture the spontaneity of the live performance, the magic of the unique musical moment. Never before has it been possible to experience Karajan the live artist and his joint work with the Berliner Philharmoniker as vividly as in this comprehensive edition.

To mark his 95th birthday Decca releases this outstanding CD edition: 'Christoph von Dohnányi - The Cleveland Years'. Born in Berlin in 1929, Dohnányi, who is still conducting today at the age of 94, is, together with Herbert Blomstedt, one of the true grand masters of the orchestral business. Decca's collaboration with the Cleveland Orchestra and Dohnányi lasted from 1984 to 1997. Dohnányi's relationship with Cleveland was one of the most successful partnerships between an orchestra and a conductor, a collaboration that was captured in many critically acclaimed recordings. In addition to Mozart and the great Romantic works of Schumann, Mahler and Bruckner, this edition offers impressive recordings of 20th century composers: Varèse, Ives, Schönberg and Lutoslawski, to name but a few. Wagner's 'Rheingold' and 'Walküre' complete the set and offer a well-rounded portrait of the conductor's Cleveland years. The 40-CD set includes the original covers, photos of the recordings and an essay by Andrew Stewart.
