Berliner Philharmoniker, Herbert von Karajan

Recorded mainly September 1967

“The conductor shows his mastery of phrase and idiom immediately in the opening La Traviata Prelude which is beautifully done, and the same poise gives distinction to the famous Cavalleria Rusticana Intermezzo and indeed the Puccini items. Where high drama is called for, as in the music of the verismo school, Karajan rises to the occasion and one can hear the resin sizzle as those Berlin string bows bite.” Stereo Record Guide

“A veritable A-Z of French piano works from King Louis XIII to Boulez. Katsaris is a most fascinating musical journey, the barnstorming Liszt/Katsaris arrangement of the Marseillaise being an obvious highlight.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2008 ****
