Karajan: Liszt & Brahms — Orchestral Works

Herbert von Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker perform a programme devoted to Franz Liszt and Johannes Brahms, bringing together Liszt’s large-scale symphonic works and a selection of Brahms’s Hungarian Dances.

Recordings

The programme combines Liszt’s symphonic poem Mazeppa and two Hungarian Rhapsodies with seven Hungarian Dances by Brahms. The recordings were made in Berlin in 1961 and 1962, with Günter Hermanns as sound engineer and original production by Deutsche Grammophon.

What are DSD and DXD?

DSD (Direct Stream Digital) is a 1-bit digital encoding system based on pulse-density modulation. DSD64 operates at approximately 2.8 MHz, DSD128 at approximately 5.6 MHz and DSD256 at approximately 11.2 MHz. Playback requires a DAC or player compatible with the selected DSD rate.

DXD (Digital eXtreme Definition) is a very high-resolution PCM format at 352.8kHz. Developed also as a professional editing and post-production environment for very high-resolution workflows, it requires a compatible DAC or player.
