Review title: Karajan's Best Zara?
Product review: Karajan was almost obsessed with R.Strauss Symphonic Poems trying ever to achieve higher level of perfection both artistically and technically (including recording technology). He recorded Don Quixote 4 times, Til Eulenspiegel 6 times, Tod und Verklarung 3 times, Metamorphosen 3 times and so on, excluding many unofficail live recordings.Also sprach Zarathustra was recorded three times officially; Decca, DG 1973 and this digital version which is grandest and best recorded of all. As to which one is best, opinions are divided depending on personal tastes for interpretation and sound quality. I have an impression that Karajan was more interested in representing the richness and intricacy of Strauss' orchestration with the last digital version, while other two readings are more or less straightforward. Only weakness of the digital version is the opening which is not as spectacular as the other two.
