KARAJAN

In 2019 – on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of his death on 16th July – the world will remember one of the great conductors of the 20th century: Herbert von Karajan, who is represented in the Unitel catalogue with nearly 50 hours of music recorded at the peak of his artistry. Karajan’s association with Unitel has produced such musical treasures as the complete cycle of Beethoven’s symphonies with the Berliner Philharmoniker, Franco Zeffirelli’s legendary 1965 Bohème production from La Scala, the Verdi Requiem with the young Luciano Pavarotti, Jean-Pierre Ponnelle’s filming of Madama Butterfly with Mirella Freni, Plácido Domingo and Christa Ludwig,

and many other great productions.

The Unitel catalogue also contains numerous award-winning documentaries on the life of the maestro and pioneer of music recording, such as Robert Dornhelm’s “Beauty As I See It” or Eric Schulz’s “The Second Life”.

(1908 – 1989)
