Karl Bohm was born in Graz, Austria, on the 28th of August 1894. Upon leaving school, he moved to Vienna for a year where, at the Staatsoper, he heard Leo Slezak, Carl Burrian and Enrico Caruso, and was thunderstruck by their art. In truth, it is curious to note that the main part of his autobiography is dedicated to lyric artists, song and opera, most unusual for a pupil of Eusebius Mandyczewski and the heir apparent to the great German instrumental tradition. This release features Bohm conducting great staples of his repertoire, including works by Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and Schumann. Recorded between 1951 and 1963, these recordings capture a master at the peak of his career. Soloists heard on these legendary recordings include Wilhelm Backhaus, Enrico Mainardi, Wolfgang Schneiderhan, and more.
