Review by Patrick Verheij

Symphonies 1970-1981 by Karajan & Berliner Philharmoniker – A Rollercoaster of Classical Bangers Alright, let’s cut to the chase. This box set from Warner Classics isn’t just another dusty relic for your grandma’s record shelf. It’s a powerhouse collection of Haydn, Mozart, and Schubert symphonies conducted by none other than Herbert von Karajan—the dude who made orchestras sound like gods having a bad day (in the best way possible). Released in 2014 but packed with recordings spanning over a decade, this thing is basically a time capsule of European classical gold. First off, kudos to the team behind it—Richard J. Bradburn on compiling duties, Michel Glotz producing, and Wolfgang Gülich engineering the hell out of these tracks. And can we talk about those photos? Ghislain Dussart and Siegfried Lauterwasser didn’t just snap pics; they captured vibes that scream “I’m cultured AF.” But enough about the packaging—let’s dive into the music because that’s where the magic happens. Track Highlights: Why These Stuck Now, I ain’t gonna lie—there are a LOT of tracks here. Like, too many to keep straight if you’re not sipping espresso while listening. But two stood out to me like neon signs in a foggy alley: Symphony No. 40 in G Minor K550 and Symphony No. 36 in C K425 ‘Linz’. Let me tell ya why. Symphony No. 40 in G Minor K550 ("Rehearsal Extracts") This one hits hard right outta the gate. The Molto Allegro movement? Pure chaos wrapped up in elegance. You know when you’re stressed as hell but somehow manage to look cool doing it? That’s what this track feels like. Karajan doesn’t mess around—he lets the strings wail and the brass punch through like they’ve got something to prove. And honestly, it works. Every note feels alive, like Mozart himself leaned over Karajan’s shoulder whispering, “Make ‘em sweat.” By the time you hit the Finale: Molto Allegro, you’ll either wanna cry or run a marathon. Maybe both. Symphony No. 36 in C K425 ‘Linz’ If Symphony No. 40 is all tension and drama, then Linz is its chill older sibling. The Adagio Molto - Allegro Vivace opening grabs you gently, like someone pulling you into a warm hug before flipping the script and going full throttle. The Berliner Philharmoniker nails this balance between softness and intensity—it’s almost unfair how good they sound. When the Menuetto kicks in later, it’s impossible not to bob your head. Yeah, yeah, I said it—classical music can slap too. Random Thoughts and WTF Moments Here’s the kicker: listening to this album feels less like admiring art and more like eavesdropping on history. Like, imagine sitting in some fancy concert hall back in the '70s or '80s, surrounded by people wearing bell-bottoms and big glasses, completely losing their minds over these performances. Wild, right? But here’s the twist—this isn’t just nostalgia bait. Even now, decades later, these recordings still slap harder than half the stuff coming out today. Sure, there’s no autotune or EDM drops, but who needs that when you’ve got Karajan flexing his baton like it’s Excalibur? So yeah, do yourself a favor and grab this box set if you’re even remotely into classical music. Just don’t blame me when you start judging everyone else’s playlists. Oh, and one last thing—listening to this might make you realize how much modern music owes to these old-school legends. Or maybe it’ll just make you wanna smash your Spotify account and buy a vinyl player. Either way, mission accomplished.
