Review title: Poor recording, even worse filming
Product review: This video was originally recorded in 1987 and was not very well done. There are only three cameras: one on von Karajan conducting from the harpsichord, one on some string players, and one on A. S. Mutter. The one on Mutter is too close so that for the entire concert, you never see her right hand. You see the violin, and this disembodied bow playing. The camera angles never change, so when other instruments are playing, you aren't shown them (as they're shown in most every documentary of orchestras). The bravura directing of von Karajan is mostly absent, as he's playing the harpsichord, and he seems capable only of waving time here and there rather than truly directing the group. Finally, the sound is poorly balanced: There are solo sequences in which Mutter is very difficult to hear.Finally, I should add that the video is low-res and narrow screen. Overall, a very disappointing experience.
