Different playing the of Tchaikovsky.......2007-06-15

This is a magnificent recording of the Tchaikovsky in many ways. The historical value, the terrific sound from the orchestra and the fact that this is Karajan's last concert with the BPO. The only negative for me is that I've never heard the Concerto ever played as slowly as this. It is almost distracting how slow it is. The positive is that most all of today's pianists play it too fast - so this is the other end of the spectrum. The Prokofiev is dazzling and lovely to hear.

Evengy Kissin takes the stage.......2007-01-08

This is great but should've been longer about 1 hr 1/2 is Karajan conducting 1 piece and other 1/2 is Kissin performing w/orch. Kissin makes the dvd worth every cent.

Young Russian Prodigy Shines brightly with Tchaikovsky........2006-02-24

This was Herbert Von Karajan's last appearance with the Berlin Philharmonic. He is of course, the best and the recording a treasure. His quiet passages may be a little too soft for some, but he is a Master Conductor whom I understand delighted in encouraging young artistes. Mr. Evgeny Kissin, a teenager of about 15 at this time is astounding. His technical prowess and strength unbelievable for one so young, and his passion and musicianship superb! I bought this DVD strictly for the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 and can recommend it without reservation as an inspiration for young musicians, as well as other adult fans of Russian Music. To solo a piano concerto with the Berlin Philharmonicer at 15 - astounding!

Herbert Von Karajan - New Year's Concert 1988.......2005-10-17

Stirring performances by Von Karajan and Kisson. Enjoyed it so much that we sent the DVD as a gift to a friend.

Poor vision.......2005-03-29

I'm so disappointed because of poor vision of this DVD. There's no question about performance of Kissin, Karajan, or BP, but the cameras focused most the time on Karajan or Kissin's face instead of his hands. That why I just give this DVD 4 starts.
