Does anyone know where I can find a complete Deutsche Grammophon Karajan discography? I would like to find out which recordings I don't have yet. My EMI collections should soon be complete when I get the complete recordings boxes!

Hi,

The following topic may help you:

www.hvk1955.proboards60.com/index.cgi?board=recordings&action=display&thread=1200777980

I also know a book on ALMOST all of Karajan recordings which
however was written in Japanese, not in English.

I realise that you are only interested in Deutsche Grammophon recordings but I always recommend John Hunt's books. In fact, the Centrum database was based on his work and his assistance was acknowledged on the first version of their web site.

His books are an invaluable resource:

"PHILHARMONIC AUTOCRAT 1"Discography (2000)
"PHILHARMONIC AUTOCRAT 2"Concert Register (2001)

I think that they are still available from the following British bookshop chain:
bookshop.blackwell.co.uk/

Herbert von Karajan recalling the night before his first jump on a horse as a child:

" 'How can I lift this enormous thing up into the air and over the fence?' I thought to myself. Then I realised no one lifts the horse. You set it in the right position and it lifts itself. The orchestra will do the same thing."

(New York's Juilliard School master class for aspiring conductors in 1976)

I recently ordered the first volume from Blackwell's. It took a while, but it finally shipped. It's in transit now. It will be interesting to see how it compares to the more recent discography in Robinson's book, which has the advantage of being more current, but definitely has errors and omissions -- quite a few, as it turns out.
