Description:

[Classical Masters No. 8] A collection of definitive and long-selling recordings from Warner Classics (formerly EMI Classics). The analog recordings are the latest remastered recordings from analog masters made by Abbey Road Studios and other overseas studios. The front cover uses the original overseas cover design. Commentary included. The combination with No. 7 won the Record Academy Award in 1971. While the structure of the score is heroic and evocative of a large temple, Karajan pursues the beauty of the music with naivete and careful attention to the details of the score.
