The fourth Karajan Legacy Blu-ray Disc.

Herbert von Karajan was a great conductor who reigned over the classical music world of the 20th century with his exceptional musicality and charisma. From the "Karajan Legacy" series, which Karajan worked on energetically in the 1980s, comes Verdi's "Requiem," which overturns the conventional wisdom that it is a work for solemn liturgy. For one of Italy's greatest opera composers, such convention must have been meaningless. This work, unfolding with dramatic technique, will stimulate your imagination, as if you were watching a theatrical production.
