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.
Follow Ups:
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.
For a Saturday morning!
Nicely remastered in 2005.
