...long as I live there will be no discussion about a successor." But last week the iron chancellor of the Berlin Philharmonic abruptly ended his distinguished 34-year tenure as conductor-for- life. With a curt, 17-line note to West Berlin's new culture minister Anke Martiny, the Salzburg-born Karajan, 81, severed his often troubled relationship with an orchestra widely regarded as the finest in the world. The reason given was ill health, but to an even greater extent Karajan was bowing to pressure from both his restive orchestra and the West Berlin senate...

...Manhattan for the first of four concerts, during a month's North American tour, the Philharmonia looked much like any other orchestra. When Salzburg-born Conductor Herbert von Karajan took it through the Star-Spangled Banner and God Save the Queen, it sounded much like any other, too.
