20世紀60年代中期,當卡拉揚決定以菲林攝製柏林愛樂樂團演奏的所有九首貝多芬交響曲,他第一首錄製了《第五交響曲》,並請著名的法國電影導演亨利·喬治·克魯佐(《總局》)來執導。當卡拉揚發現了如此熱愛音樂的導演,與他有著一個志趣相投的靈魂,是一位象徵意象的表現大師,卡拉揚覺得找到了一位知音。
這個貝多芬的第七交響曲便是其中之一。
另一個貝多芬的第九交響曲則為卡拉揚與柏林愛樂樂團演奏1977年的除夕音樂會的現場紀錄,極為珍貴。

大鼻子情聖(CYRANO DE BERGERAC)




普拉西德·多明戈總讓人錯覺阿爾法諾創造的角色“情聖多明戈”是專門為他而作的。(美國廣播公司的每日綜述裡如是評價馬德里的首演。)
雖然阿爾法諾(1875-1954)的歌劇作曲生涯是漫長而多產的,但讓他聲名遠播的是他根據普契尼的草稿而完成的作品《杜蘭朵》。他早期的作品都帶有普契尼的“真實主義”的影子,但在其後期的作品中,包括《大鼻子情聖》,都很顯然受了德彪西、拉威爾和施特勞斯的啟發。

西拉諾這個角色成為多明戈演出生涯中的第121個角色。他說:“這是個好角色,我很高興能夠在創作的晚期發現了它。”

委內瑞拉西蒙.玻利瓦格青年交響樂團(SIMON BOLIVAR YOUTH ORCHESTRA OF VENEZUELA)




作為2008年薩爾茨堡藝術節的常駐樂團,西蒙.玻利瓦格青年交響樂團是一個為社會各階層的兒童提供樂器學習和合奏機會的“樂團組織“的產物。今日,青少年管弦樂學習者達到了25萬人,指導老師也有15000名,其中青年交響樂團超過了120個,兒童樂團將近60個。
《慕尼克日報》大膽宣稱:“委內瑞拉西蒙.玻利瓦格青年交響樂團是薩爾茨堡藝術節的座上賓,它為觀眾帶來了夏日裡的最響雷聲。”
很少有一個管弦樂團能夠如此出色,如此貼近聽眾,而更少有一個年齡分佈在12-26歲之間的青年管弦樂團能夠取得如此佳績!

杜蘭朵(TURANDOT)




享譽國際的中國導演陳凱歌(其《霸王別姬》獲1993年戛納電影節金櫚獎),為童話中的中國公主杜蘭朵設計了一個華麗的背景。故事中,杜蘭朵只願意嫁給能解得出她的三個謎的具有皇室血統的王子。
導演陳凱歌利用中國華麗的服飾和宏偉的宮殿,設計了一個與普契尼的管弦色調完全不同但又令人信服的音調。“我希望《杜蘭朵》……能夠讓觀眾更清楚地感受到中國文化。”陳凱歌如是說。

蕭邦鋼琴協奏曲(THE CHOPIN PIANO CONCERTOS)




為了紀念弗雷德里克克•蕭邦的誕辰200周年,在埃森舉行的著名魯爾鋼琴節邀請柏林國家樂團表演一個特殊的節目:把蕭邦的兩首鋼琴曲整合在一場音樂會中。這真的是難得一遇的盛舉。
為此,樂團的首席指揮家丹尼爾•巴倫博伊姆,將他的指揮棒交到了初露頭角的年輕指揮家安德里•斯納爾手中,他自己則擔任鋼琴獨奏。
媒體大膽預測:“丹尼爾•巴倫博伊姆和安德里•斯納爾這對夢幻組合必將以他們對蕭邦完美的演繹虜獲所有聽眾,迎接他們的將是如雷般的掌聲。”
