Born in Austria, he led the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra for 35 years. He also worked with the Vienna Philharmonic and the Salzberg Festival, to name but two. But he was also known for his drive for perfection in both performing and in recording.
Karajan is one of the most recorded conductors in history, with record sales in the hundreds of millions.

Such was his drive for perfection in sound that he played a key role in the development of compact disc technology.
