Henry started our summer special series, and he's here to close it with more personal treasures from Karajan's life.
In this final episode, Henry presents a truly unique and somewhat macabre set of artifacts: Karajan's death mask and death hands, originally cast in plaster at his deathbed and later in bronze. Ever wondered why Karajan broke some of his batons, or how big his hands really were? Well, here’s your chance to find out in this final, slightly eerie, but undeniably fascinating episode. Fittingly, Henry has chosen Verdi's "Un ballo in maschera" (A Masked Ball) for this episode's Spotify track - a perfect nod to the maestro's final "performance?"
Enjoy this last summer special episode, and remember, our regular season of Spin On Classical Music resumes next Friday on September 13. Thank you for watching the six special video episodes during this year's summer break. We look forward to kicking off the 2024/2025 season next week!
