Herbert Von Karajan - Complete Deutsche Grammophon Recordings [2008] (240 x CDs)

HERBERT VON KARAJAN

Herbert Von Karajan - Complete Deutsche Grammophon Recordings [2008] (240 x CDs)

Herbert von Karajan, born Heribert Ritter von Karajan; 5 April 1908 – 16 July 1989) was an Austrian conductor. He was principal conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic for 34 years. During the Nazi era, he debuted at the Salzburg Festival, with the Vienna Philharmonic, the Berlin Philharmonic, and during the Second World War he conducted at the Berlin State Opera. Generally regarded as one of the greatest conductors of the 20th century, he was a controversial but dominant figure in European classical music from the mid-1950s until his death. Part of the reason for this was the large number of recordings he made and their prominence during his lifetime. By one estimate, he was the top-selling classical music recording artist of all time, having sold an estimated 200 million records.

I posted this set years ago and have subsequently been asked, many times, to repost this set. I wanted to find a way to provide the entire collection in one file and finally can. So here is a massive post for those who want to pick this limited set up. The total file size is 35Gb. This is one massive post and is supported for download for the next 30 days.

Karajan’s Deutsche Grammophon complete recordings is recorded on chronological order. From the “Magic Flute” overture of the 1938 recording used as first recording to the recording of the last in 1989, and the Symphony No.7 of Bruckner. There is no selling separately. It becomes ordering limited production. Released to commemorate Karajan's birth 100-year ago. 240 CDs, around 252 hours of classical music.

VOLUMES:

  • Vol.1 (1938-1943) - CD 1-6
  • Vol.2 (1959-1965) - CD 7-27
  • Vol.3 (1965-1966) - CD 28-50
  • Vol.4 (1967-1969) - CD 51-79
  • Vol.5 (1970-1972) - CD 80-102
  • Vol.6 (1973-1975) - CD 103-129
  • Vol.7 (1976-1979) - CD 130-156
  • Vol.8 (1979-1981) - CD 157-188
  • Vol.9 (1982-1984) - CD 189-216
  • Vol.10 (1985-1989) - CD 217-240

  6. Butterboy I greatly appreciate this set, but O have a real problem with Pixeldrain in that it starts off at a good speed but rapidly slows down to a halt over a minute or so and never gets any further. Do you have any advice or solutions to this problem please?

    1. Hi man from mordor.
      I tried many file uploaders for this set and all were a problem unless I made small files. I guess I could have split this up into a bunch of posts, but I wanted them all together. I even tried a file sharer that allowed me to post a single file up to 50Gb but it didn't work (disappointing)
      What others do that may help: Try using a different browser, Try using a VPN, also clean the stored cache from your memory by cleaning all the history. I hope this helps.
      Cheers

    2. Thanks Butterboy, I'll give it a go. It is a really brilliant collection. I do have some of it from your previous postings but I am keen to get the rest. I saw/heard Karajan and the BPO twice back in the late 60s early 70s at the Royal Festival Hall. The last occasion he conducted Prokofiev Symphony 5, but the real magic was during the first half of the concert when he performed and conducted the Mozart Piano Concerto for 3 pianos from the keyboard - the other two pianists (taking the more difficult parts) were Justus Frantz and Christoph Eschenbach, both a the beginning of their careers. That magic lingers in my brain. Best wishes from Mordor.
