A powerful performance by Karajan and Anne Sophie Mutter November 4, 2007
Karajan and Mutter give a very impressive performance of the 4 seasons, it is both pleasurable and entertaining, a highly recommended concert and Mutter is both precise and highly energetic!
 Marvelous Performance! October 7, 2006

"The Four Seasons" is probably one of the most famous and widely played symphony in the world. This version is beautifully shot and the sound quality is superb. Mr. Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic are in excellent form. It's always a treat watching Mr. Karajan conduct and play the harpischord. Reminding us how great composers like Beethoven did both in their days. Anne-Sophie Mutter's playing is both heavenly and flawless...and I'm a cellist! This performance is like a wonderful bottle of Cabernet - very solid. Just perfect for a relaxing evening at home. It's great to have this version on dvd as testament to the growth and talent of Ms. Mutter. Mutter's 1999 collaboration of "The Four Seasons" with the Trondheim Soloists is more energetic & uptempo. Mutter plays with a little more abandon. Unfortunately, the 1999 rendition is cd only and not available on dvd yet.

One of the best interpretation of Vivaldi - Four Seasons.
A must have DVD.

I have to disagree with the review who said that too much attention is focused or von Karajan himself. This would bother me quite a bit if it were true, but I don't think it is. Instead, everything about this production strikes me as finely balanced. It shouldn't be forgotten that in this performance, von Karajan is playing the harpsichord, so there is really some logic in focusing on him to some degree.
 Forget the music, look at me. April 23, 2004

Avoid this DVD if you are interested in the music and not in watching Von Krajan pose and show his "pretty face"
