"Böhm gelingt es, mit einer fantastischen Truppe an Solisten der Wiener Philharmoniker [...] der spröd klassizistischen Partitur Witz und Leuchten, charmante Soli und ätherische Harfenklänge zu entlocken wie kein anderer." (Online Merker)
He did not thrust himself into the limelight but put himself, with economical, clear gestures, entirely at the service of the music: amongst the conductors of his time, Karl Böhm epitomised the anti-star. In the summer of 1964 he delighted the Lucerne audience with a compellingly flowing and cantabile reading of Bruckner’s Seventh – of course at the helm of “his” Vienna Philharmonic, with whom he was also to perform a buoyant Hindemith concerto six years later.
