Although the thought is very human, this is why God is God and we/you aren't Him. We don't know. And I liked a lot of Karajan.

and most of what I like was recorded before he became von KARAJAN!
I like some of earlier DG stuff, but especially liked the EMI things with Philharmonia and BPO. I have been listening to his accompanying S Richter on Tchaikovsky PC 1, with VSO, downloaded to car. Intense and fiery, great phrasing. Tried not to like it, but can't.
Stuff like this?
That looks like a Soria edition of his famed RCA, recorded by Kenneth Wilkinson.
I was thinking of Mozart Horn Conc with Brain, some Mozart symphonies, a compilation of orchestral pieces. Really good sound and playing with large structural sound, not that weird smooth stuff of later life.
I agree that Karajan's best recordings were early in his career, especially those with the then newly formed Philharmonia. The Strauss operas they did in the early 50s are still unsurpassed to this day - the Rosenkavalier, the Ariadne auf Naxos - fantastic stuff.
yes, he was pretty agile on this stuff...the VPO annual New Yrs concert that he conducted in 1987 I think is one of the best ones ever, imho. The one which has Kathy Battle singing during Voices of Spring.
There are others I like from his DGG years, maybe I will post later.
I loved Fricsay, to get us back to the original point.
