Karajan - Beethoven Symphony No. 6 In F Major 'Pastoral'


(video link)

Herbert Karajan conducting the Berlin Philharmonic - Beethoven Symphony No. 6 In F Major ‘Pastoral’

directed by Hugo Niebel

I avoid using the terms "best" or "worst" about anything, but I will say that this is the most impressive film interpretation of an orchestral performance I've seen. I know it's long, but it's worth at least a lengthy sample.
