Actually I am not surprised by that, after all he was Karajan! The name or 
experience or knowledge from the sound engineer didn't matter...

"
Whats the difference between Karajan and god?
 - God doesn't think he is Karajan!

Personally I think I didn't like the Karajan recordings I heard, but I can't 
really say why and I can't remember how I compared.
I know I like my recording of Haydns "Schöpfung" (en: "Creation") conducted by 
Leonard Bernstein. I don't like my recording of Haydns "Die Jahreszeiten" (en: 
"The seasons") conducted by Sigiswald Kuijken. But the main reason for this is 
the audio engineer that mixed the second with to much dynamic range and to 
much headroom => its not loud enough for most listening environments...

Have fun,

Arnold
