Bohm:Wiener Phil - Strauss: Don Juan

A rehearsal under Karl B�hm! This was a prospect that prompted distinctly mixed feelings among orchestral musicians in Vienna, Berlin, Bayreuth and New York! The Austrian conductor was respected and feared by his musicians as an uncompromising but expert orchestral trainer and an unassailable authority of the first order.Home viewers now have the opportunity to watch the unforgotten Maestro in rehearsal and concert of Don Juan, the popular tone poem by Richard Strauss.When Karl B�hm was appointed general manager of the Dresden State Opera in 1933, he began an intensive and fruitful collaboration with Richard Strauss, which led to his conducting the world premieres of Die schweigsame Frau and Daphne.B�hm set standards with his interpretations of the works of Strauss. The unofficial curator of his musical legacy, B�hm knew his friend's music inside and out - and he knew just how Strauss wanted his works to sound.Picture format Blu-Ray: 4:3 (Polybox) Sound format Blu-Ray: PCM Stereo Region code: All (worldwide) Subtitles: English, French, Spanish Booklet notes: English, German, French Language: German Running time: 18 mins concert + 48 mins documentary + 8 mins bonus FSK: 0
