- The Life of Herbert von Karajan
- Herbert von Karajan, the great conductor born in Salzburg, Austria, was born on April 5, 1908, into an upper-middle-class family in Salzburg, Austria, the land of music. Karajan's great-grandfather and brothers ventured into the clothing business in Saxony, and through their achievements, became nobles.

Karajan is recognized as one of the conductors who has made the most recorded albums in the world. His charm point is characterized by conducting with his eyes gently closed. Karajan led the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra as its chief conductor for 35 years, from 1955 to 1989. The great conductor of Salzburg, Austria, Karajan, passed away at the age of 81 on July 16, 1989, due to heart failure at his home in Salzburg, Austria.
