The combination of Herbert von Karajan and the revered Romanian pianist Clara Haskil (1895-1960) was an ideal partnership. Karajan had an extraordinary rapport with her, describing her career as “a long and often sorrowful march to glory” due to Haskil’s well documented ill-health. Since she and Karajan were contracted to different companies, they never recorded together which makes this momento of their collaboration especially valuable.
