»Pastorale« cover art

This rendition of Beethoven's Symphony No. 6 is another crown jewel in Herbert von Karajan's seminal 1962 Deutsche Grammophon cycle. The Berliner Philharmoniker delivers an incredibly lush, warmly balanced performance that perfectly captures the symphony's programmatic depictions of nature, rustic gatherings, and thunderstorms.
