Say what you want about Karajan the man and the creepy cult of his personality (we know WE do) but the celebrations for his centenary are indeed an important moment of this 2008's musical history.
Here is the program of tomorrow night's konzert in Salzburg, same program as in 1929 for HVK's debut there. Maestro Bolton conducting (not the same thing, OK).
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky:Symphony no. 5 e minor op. 64
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Piano concern no. 23 A major KV 488
Richard Strauss: Don Juan op. 20Mozarteum Orchester Salzburg
Soloist Lars Vogt, piano
Conductor Ivor Bolton
Perfect repros of Karajan's several Nazi Party membership cards available at the Mozarteum's Gift Shop
