Re: Bata, Karajan, and Morality



            I'd like to endorse Ken's (it is Ken, isn't it?) skepticism about Karajan

Karl, actually :-).

    an estate valued at over $100 million.

Wow.  I am amazed.  Surely von K. didn't make all that just from his music?
I mean, Gould's estate was only a million or so, and I'd be astonished
if von K. sold 100 times more than GG did.  I wonder what the numbers
are for all-time best selling classical folks.  Depressingly low, I
know, but how low ...
