April 1938 was an important month for Aachen’s talented and much talked-about young Generalmusikdirektor, Herbert von Karajan, just 30 years old and already possessed of a formidable reputation as a choral, operatic and symphonic conductor. On the 8th of the month, he made an acclaimed debut with the Berlin Philharmonic; three weeks later in Aachen he conducted the Ninth Symphony for the first time. Nineteen years (and quite a few Ninths) later, he would conduct his first Berlin Ninth on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the orchestra’s foundation in 1882. The gramophone had played an important part in the post-war rise to fame and fortune, which brought Karajan the coveted position of artistic director of the Berlin Philharmonic in 1955. It was not his favorite medium for making music (he spoke of the "chill" of the recording studio), but on one grasped more clearly than he its enormous cultural and commercial importance. We see this in the immense amount of time and care he lavished on the recordings of Brahms’ German Requiem and Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony he made in Vienna in the autumn of 1947.
