A couple of days ago I received a letter from Karajan's discographer John Hunt enclosing a very interesting article entitled "Herbert von Karajan at the 1957 Salzburg Festival".

I have now typed it out and added it to John's other contributions in the Visitor Section of the website:

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)
