Karajan and Sir John Barbirolli

[~Linda~]

A visitor to my website gave me a link to the following film extract posted on YouTube:

It is a shame that Richter's view of Karajan is so negative regarding the legendary recording of the Beethoven Triple Concerto. However, as my visitor pointed out, it is the footage of Karajan and Sir John Barbirolli in conversation (1.11minutes - 1.32 minutes) which is interesting and very illuminating. They obviously have a close and friendly rapport. If only we could have heard their conversation............
