#74 - Conducting History: Karajan, Legge & the Royal Orchestra
-->CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE FULL PODCAST-PLAYLIST<--
Thank goodness, this week things are back to normal. And just in time for the weekend, Pia, Henry, and Nicolai are serving up a new episode of Spin On Classical Music. Three years after the end of World War II, and about a year after Karajan's conducting ban was lifted by the Allied forces, Herbert von Karajan and Walter Legge met, laying the foundation for a decade of fruitful and now-legendary collaboration between Karajan and the Philharmonia Orchestra, which Legge had founded shortly before, in 1945. Karajan had immense respect for Legge’s deep understanding of music, and Pia shares just how grateful he was to receive the invitation by reading an original letter Karajan sent to his friend Walter. From their first concert to their final recording in 1960, the Philharmonia Orchestra and Herbert von Karajan reached new heights, and their recordings from this period remain unparalleled, often technically remarkable as well. Of course, Pia has once again curated a handpicked Spotify playlist for this episode.
And as a special treat, we stumbled upon a surprise: at the end of the episode, Pia reads out a letter from King Charles (then Prince Charles), written to mark the Philharmonia Orchestra's 40th anniversary in 1985. A royal finale you won’t want to miss!
