Herbert Von Karajan - His Legacy for Home Video: J.S. Bach - Violin Concerto in E Major	Purists close your eyes and ears for this one. If you are one of those people who need to have 300 year-old music performed on 300 year-old instruments by 300 year-old people (OK, I exaggerate), you will hate this performance. The Berlin Philharmonic at the peak of their "Karajan sound" capabilities throw the full weight of their symphonic splendour at this Bach program. I love it in its own right. Karajan was never known or liked for his baroque conducting, in fact he was despised for his interpretation of the Brandenburg concertos, but this is still a great, great recording, especially with the exceptional Rias Rundfunkchor performing Bach's Magnificat. Real goose-bump stuff. And we need not talk about the untarnished skills of the young Ann-Sophie Mutter playing in perfect harmony with her great menthor's conducting. If you have a Gardiner or a Hernoncourt or a Herrwhege recording of these pieces at home: go ahead, get this one, it's a guilty pleasure, but it works. As for sound and video quality: all DVDs from this Karajan series are exceptionally good considering that the original material was recorded 20some years ago. They leave nothing to be desired.

Herbert Von Karajan - His Legacy for Home Video: Ludwig Van Beethoven - Violin Concerto	There is no doubt on the supremacy of Beethoven's violin concerto in D, and there is also no doubt in the performance again from the orchestra conducted by Karajan where the deep beauty and feeling of the composer has fully and inspirationally expressed through Karajan always. However, my disappointment on this performance is not on the outside expression of Mutter as the other viewer commented. I have bought several Mutter's performances, it led me to believe that Mutter is not qualified as a top violinist because her performances have only skills and have no understanding and expression in the right mode as the music should be (a few examples will clear that: (1) Compare the performance of Mutter to Heifitz in the performance of Sarasate's op. 20. (2) Compare Mutter and Itzhak Perlman in the performances of the Beethoven violin concerto in D, the quality of a violinist will be clear). It is also clear to me that Viviane Hagner is much better than Mutter (who is quite talented in making the music alive as it should be) It is unfortunate that, for those wonderful pieces, there was no joint performances between Krajan and Itzhak Perlman, etc. However, the DVD is worthwhile solely because the great performance and historical record of Karajan and his orchestra, it has nothing to do with Mutter at all.
