KARAJAN HERBERT VON - GEBRAUCHT VERDI IL TROVAT...

Il Trovatore was always one of Herbert von Karajan's favourite operas. He conducted it at the
very beginning of his career and his first studio recording in 1956 was made in Milan with
Maria Callas and Giuseppe di Stefano  but his Trovatore really made its mark in the legendary
performances given at the Salzburg Festival in 1962  which formed the basis for this successful
revival in Vienna. He once declared in an interview that what he loved about this opera was its
archetypal human passions  its compression of highly dramatic situations into the smallest
conceivable space and Verdi's genius for translating such situations into music.This 1978
performance is steeped in scandal. Franco Bonisolli was originally cast in the lead role but
abandoned the cast during a rehearsal where the public had been admitted entry  and  after
throwing his sword at the conductor  left the stage in fury  to be later replaced by Plácido
Domingo.What this performance makes so special: Karajan notonly conducted the opera  but he was
also responsible for the stage direction.
