Although Herbert Von Karajan (1908-1989) began his unparalleled musical career as a pianist, it was as a conductor – perhaps the greatest ever – that he shaped the world of music in the 20th century. But Herbert von Karajan was more than just a brilliant musician. He was also a charismatic media star, a gifted opera producer and a successful festival founder. One of Karajan’s life ambitions was to preserve a musical tradition for future generations. He opened the door to success for young, talented artists, and was convinced that he could overcome barriers and bring cultures and peoples together with music.
With its black precious resin cap and faceted ivory-colored ring, representing a keyboard, the Donation Pen Herbert von Karajan recalls the early career of the musician, who first became famous as a brilliant pianist in Vienna. The platinum-plated clip with its inlay in the shape of a conductor’s baton is a tribute to Karajan’s legacy as a conductor, and the hand-cut, artistically rhodium-plated 18-carat gold nib. As a momento of Karajan, the presentation box of the fountain pen contains a pure silk scarf.
