Thanks for this; I hadn't heard of it.

Karajan has been so much criticised that Richard Osborne's consistent and well-reasoned advocacy of his style has been a useful balancing action. His writings have encouraged me to reassess Herbert's recordings and gain much enjoyment and satisfaction from them.
