Herbert von Karajan was a great conductor who reigned over the classical music world of the 20th century with his outstanding musicality and charisma. This collection of French orchestral works by Debussy and Ravel is part of the "Karajan Legacy" series, which Karajan worked on energetically in the 1980s, towards the end of his life. Karajan particularly chose these three pieces to record among all French music, and you can imagine his affection for them. The Berlin Philharmonic skillfully and beautifully expresses these pieces, which require both elegant and technical ensemble playing. SIXC-74
