Program notes
Visionary, pioneer, and perfectionist in the realm of live concert filming, Herbert von Karajan remains unsurpassed in the degree to which he directly involved himself with recordings and recording technologies. The documentary film Maestro for the Screen brings together revealing accounts about the great man from his closest colleagues, including his secretary, cameramen, orchestral musicians, producers, and even the music critics who analyzed his work. Journey through the different stages of his adventure as he constructed an invaluable videographic legacy, ever in search of “the marriage between sound and image”.
