But what really caught my attention is Hugo Niebeling who worked first for Karajan on Beethoven 6th in 1968. The film he made is absolutely astonishing in terms of cinematography and complete adherance to the music's rythm. Niebeling showed the film to Karajan who turned a nice shade of green. He hated it! Of course, Niebeling didn't show constant close-ups of Karajan directing!!! Karajan asked for a re-cut by his own editor. But, thank God!, the German TV channel who produced it insisted to present it as it was. This little gem has been well preserved. But all Niebeling later collaborations have been mercilessly recut by Karajan....
