Renowned Austrian conductor Herbert von Karajan leads the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in this 1983 performance of Richard Strauss's acclaimed "Eine Alpensinfonie," one of the German composer's most sweeping works. The symphony was written to evoke the sense of spending a day hiking in the mountains, an adventure these world-class musicians capture in this resounding and stirring rendition under Von Karajan's graceful direction.
