Title Note

This fabled 1969 recording of the Beethoven 'Triple Concerto' brought together for the first time Herbert von Karajan (conducting the Berlin Philharmonic) and three of the most legendary instrumentalists of the day. To give an indication of how wondrous the results of this collaboration were, consider that when the concert was to be repeated in Moscow, the Russian authorities first barred Mstislav Rostropovich from playing (because of his support of Alexander Solzhenitsyn in the Russian press) then reinstated him after both David Oistrakh and Sviatoslav Richter refused to play with any other cellist. Rostropovich later observed that "those who witnessed the concert remember it to this day, for it was an occasion when music won over oppression." Conceived at the time of his 'Eroica' Symphony, Beethoven's triumphal concerto elicits extraordinary playing from these three artists, playing that seems to have stirred Karajan and the Berliners to rise to that impossibly high standard.
