Herbert von Karajan was an Austrian conductor. He was principal conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic for 34 years.

This collection (originally released as part of the legendary Philips Classics Mozart Edition) is full of truly authoritative performances featuring internationally acclaimed artists.
