With a career that includes a 35-year tenure as composer of the Berlin Philharmonic and record sales topping 200 million, Herbert von Karajan is one of the most legendary figures in 20th-century classical music. Comprised of archival footage, performance highlights and interviews with the likes of Anne-Sophie Mutter, Christa Ludwig and Seiji Ozawa, this retrospective chronicles the life and times of the iconic Austrian maestro.

拍摄于1987年萨尔茨堡音乐节，贴身跟拍了晚年卡拉扬在音乐节内排练、演出、试听艺术家、编辑母带等丰富内容。整个纪录片在大师指挥瓦格纳《爱之死》（杰西·诺曼）中推到高潮。
