Celebrating Salzburg
Six programmes in which Richard Osborne explores the story of the Salzburg Festival.
4: The Early Karajan Years
This programme traces the early years of Herbert von Karajan 's period as festival director, from his appointment in 1957 to 1971, the year which saw the death of his mentor, festival president and Salzburg stalwart
Bernhard Paumgartner. With Karajan in 1957 came the breaking of the Vienna Philharmonic's monopoly of Salzburg's orchestral programmes, ushering in a new period of richness and diversity. Singers and instrumentalists featured in the programme include Irmgard Seefried , Fritz Wunderlich , Clara Haskil , Shura Cherkassky , Nathan Milstein and Emil Gilels.

From the Metropolitan Opera House, New York,

Musorgsky's opera in a prologue and four acts. Boris Godunov has usurped the Russian throne and now rules as tsar. Musorgsky's opera, however, portrays a Godunov assailed by doubts, fears and guilt and slowly losing control as Russia slides into chaos. His tragedy is also that of the Russian people. Sung in Russian.
