Thank you very much for this Skybird. Yes, I have to agree, Karajan is by all accounts one of the best and he made the Berliner Philharmoniker what they are today. When someone mentions either him or them, this quote of Karajan's always comes to mind:
If I tell the Berliners to step forward, they do it. If I tell the Viennese to step forward, they do it. But then they ask why.
The reason why he was the best.
