When you hear this collection of wonderful music, then you can only deeply regret that already passed away so young Carl Maria von Weber with 40 years and that he is now almost exclusively associated with the "Freischütz" connected! Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic present here in an excellent way the "Invitation to the Dance" (in the orchestrated by Berlioz version) as well as the overtures to "Euryanthe", "Oberon", "Abu Hassan", "Freischütz", "Commander of the spirits "and" Peter Schmoll ". Here is an excellent conduct and make music and also the sound is excellent! The photographs are from the years 72 and 73. The only title that something falls in my opinion, Karajan is quite tough Freischütz overture which I have heard many times better and tangy (By comparison, lasts Keilberth the overture 9: Otherwise, 05, at 9:48 Kleiber, with Karajan here all 10:34!) I can recommend this CD but without limitation!
