A legendary recording marathon! In September 1971, Karajan and his Berliners recorded Tchaikovsky’s 4th, 5th and 6th symphonies in just six days. This incredible urgency permeates every bar of the Fourth: less polished than his DG accounts, it radiates raw power and phenomenal electric tension. This stands as a thunderous testament to the near-telepathic symbiosis between the conductor and his orchestra at the height of their powers.
