Of course, this was the Karajan Beethoven cycle recorded before the Philharmonie was completed in 1963, most likely in the Jesus-Christus Kirche in Berlin. IMHO, the Philharmonie is not nearly as good a recording venue, and many of the tricks employed by Karajan's engineers were attempts to compensate.
