As you will have probably seen from my web site I have contacted both the Austrian and German Postal Authorities about the Karajan Centenary in April 2008.

I am very disappointed that neither country is issuing a commemorative stamp to mark the occasion. I know that the Austrians issued a stamp in 2005 for the 10th Anniversary of the Karajan Centrum in Vienna, but it seems incredible that they are not marking his 100th Birthday!

In 1983 Salzburg issued a special cancellation for his 75th birthday:

but I have been told that nothing is planned for 2008.

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)

Not to my personal taste but São Tomé e Príncipe, an island nation in the Gulf of Guinea, have issued the following Miniature Sheet:

Details are on the Centenary page of my website.

Dear Linda,

Among the many illustrious absences that make us sad , I'm glad that you have thought to give us the good news. That country has been able to honour, so worthy, the memory of Great Maestro!

Thank you

"Beruflich kreativ tätig zu sein ist ein Privileg, und wir haben die Pflicht, unseren Beruf so Auszuüben, dass wir all jenen, die nicht das Glück haben, Freude und erfüllung bringen". Herbert von Karajan

To work in a creative profession is a privilege, and we have a responsability to carry out our work so that it brings joy and fulfilment to those who do not have this fortune.
