About this album

Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic bring exceptional polish and control to two cornerstones of French Impressionism. This 1964 programme pairs Debussy’s La Mer and Prélude à l’Après-midi d’un faune with Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé, Suite No. 2, highlighting colour, transparency and orchestral shimmer at the heart of the style. Herbert von Karajan’s sleek, richly balanced approach helped make these works staples of the modern concert repertoire, and the Berlin players’ virtuosity gives the music rare sheen and clarity. It is a classic meeting of interpretive authority and orchestral refinement, admired for its disciplined beauty and atmosphere.
