Herbert von Karajan was regarded as a supreme conductor. His unconditional and resolute determination to achieve the highest artistic quality, his understanding for the demands of the present as well as his conscious awareness of the possibilities of the future helped him to ensure a place for himself and for his œuvre between the two poles of tradition and progress. 

Herbert von Karajan demonstrated his outstanding sense of quality in many ways, even in his private life: with a confident sense of style he embodied the attributes of the rich and famous and set international standards as a trend- and jet-setter.

Even nowadays Herbert von Karajan is still considered as exemplifying highest quality, and his musical legacy remains unattained in its lasting impact and artistic excellence. Countless partners from the international music branch are aware of the unique quality of the brand Herbert von Karajan and make an indispensable contribution towards continuing to foster and expand this.

To ensure that the excellent reputation of the brand Herbert von Karajan remains a sign of quality in future, the name has been internationally registered as a brand, thus protecting how it is exploited economically. In addition an official logo has been designed as a mark of quality, and this now identifies all officially authorised Karajan products. The mark of quality is awarded exclusively and directly by the Karajan Institute on behalf of Karajan’s widow, Madame Eliette von Karajan, and it vouches for the highest quality, just as Karajan himself would have wished.

For enquiries regarding the use of the name and the brand, and to indicate a partnership agreement between your product and the official logo, please contact the licence department of the Eliette and Herbert von Karajan Institute.
