It mentions Szell for sure - no mention of Karajan. In fact, I had never heard of a Karajan connection before your post. I've got to believe that the Szell connection was much stronger. (Nevertheless, I'd be interested to know, in connection with the last sentence in your post, in what respects you would consider Levine more like Karajan than like Szell.)

Hi Chris - it has been remarked many times by many people that Levine's lyrical style is very similar to Karajan's. Both conductors always tend to bring out the lyricism most in whatever they are conducting. Both do this quite a bit more than any of the others mentioned in the original post, including Szell. I should make clear that I am speaking of what they emphasize musically in their interpretations; I am not speaking of their conducting or rehearsal techniques, or their personalities. This is getting off topic, though, so I'll stop there.
We could probably replace Wikipedia with Ripley's & no one would notice
any drop in accuracy.
For myself "Wiki" just seems to cover most of the what I already know about whatever,
I've attempted to use it for.
Plain old fashioned "google searches" are much more useful to me .
(Granted my interests are pretty limited & specific ; so I suppose I should'nt be critical about something I rarely use)
Only if we're talking about "obscure" personal interest subject matter
Someone once called me a "F"&$k,.ng" Know it All" I thanked them but being who I think I
am corrected them by saying "not all, just most " (actually it did'nt go that way as I'm usually
a bit disappointed when some mistakes my inability to not add something more (when not called for) to a conversation as a display of .., ??; I can be pretty articulate when it comes to saying things that may not even be relevant, ... Heh,he,he)
