The problems is Karajan always was the shadow of this conductor

[@donnasherwood283]

totally overrated he like callas was more a personality than a particularly gifted musician. He also was a repulsive human. West side story was his apogee and grand. I was particularly disgusted with his behavior toward Christa ludwig the great mezzo soprano who gently corrected him about tempo of a piece she was going to sing and who the orchestra agreed with. I think it was a deliberate anti german gesture on his part to publicly humiliate her. I despise this man his revolting gesticulations and horrid political actions.

[@Susan-lf2hl]

Callas was one of the best ever!

[@donnasherwood283]

really ? try listening to some of her recording a little more carefully. She had defects in the upper register voice "waffled" and it deteriorated thru time. She left the stage due to this and the weight loss was believed to have exacerbated it I thought I was crazy hearing this years ago until, I believe, Will Crutchfield wrote a critique after her death. She had a mesmerizing persona on stage her dramatic flair was unique but the voice itself was lacking. I have close to 500 classical CDs and LPs and i don't think either of my husbands purchased one with her. Her life was tragic on an "operatic" level. @@Susan-lf2hl

@@Susan-lf2hl So was Bernstein a bunch of troublemakers, trolls on-line .

[@charlesreidy2765]

Oh my God. Calling this man a genius is an insult to real geniuses. Jumping up and down and dancing on a podium doesn't make you go good conductor, let alone a genius. But DGG has to make a profit, so anything goes I guess. Other great DGG conductors like Böhm, Abbado, Kleiber and Karajan would laugh in your face if you called them geniuses.

[@bloodyplebs]

None of the conductors you listed composed sublime music like Bernstein. And none of them were as good as him at conducting either. Go outside and stop being miserable online.

[@charlesreidy2765]

@@bloodyplebs It appears that I touched the nerve of a child who can't tolerate disagreement. Good luck with that.

[@bloodyplebs]

@@charlesreidy2765 the irony is palpable. Take my advice, you will be happier for it.

[@sarahjones-jf4pr]

A charlesreidy2765 Keep your contempt about Maestro Bernstein to yourself as well as your vile comments, get away from hear and take your ignorant pathetic persona for a few lessons in manners.

[@dimitricayard630]

​@@charlesreidy2765 I bet you see yourself more of a genius than Bernstein 😂. The previous comment or had given you a nice advice😊
