Well, not today, but the other night there was some sort of biographical show about Karajan on PBS, and I caught some of it. The excerpts were exceptionally excellent. (How's that for some heavy alliteration.) Then later that day, there was another, different show, again about Karajan. Did I miss something? Was it his birthday recently, or.. ? I should look it up, but I'm feeling particularly lazy atm.
