Here's an interesting piece:
Which Karajan/BPO series are you referring to? 1963 or 1977?I bought the DG delux re-issue which includes a blu ray audio disc with "high res" transfers, generally I'd probably dismiss that as just marketing spin but in this case the blu ray includes a 5.0 surround sound mix which really does add a very 3 dimensional feel and is well worth having.

The 1977 set has been remixed/remastered/released on BluRay with multiple formats:On Karajan and Beethoven I like his 1977 cycle, the weak one is the last 1982(?) digitally recorded set. The 1963 set has been re-issued by DG as a deluxe set which is well worth considering if people want that cycle.
The 1977 set has been remixed/remastered/released on BluRay with multiple formats:
• Dolby Atmos at 24bit/48kHz
• Stereo 2.0 at 24bit/192kHz
• Surround 5.1 at 24bit/192KHz .
The ATMOS is particularly interesting because it is not immersive in the present sense used for movies but does offer a quite enhanced presence of the Philharmonie.
