Fourth release in the Warner Classics series of Herbert von Karajan Hybrid SACDs with a new HD 192/24 remastering from the original tapes. ""Karajan is a great master,"" wrote Jean Sibelius in 1955, while the conductor said that Sibelius ""is a composer who cannot really be compared to anyone else"". Gramophone added in 1981: ""No living conductor has done more for the music of Sibelius than Herbert von Karajan."" In the tone poems and the two symphonies in this collection, Karajan explores with the magnificent Berlin Philharmonic the music's mysteries, unfolds it's structures and releases it's exhilarating power.
