Yeah. I saw another video where Karajan discussed classical music with Yehudi Menuhin, and he seem a bit uncomfortable to have a conversation with him.
Ozawa is an excellent interviewer, making Karajan comfortable and open up. He is also an excellent conductor, at least in my book. For Stravinsky Firebird or Tchaikovsky symphonies, Ozawa is and remains a top-notch choice
It's surprising to see how Karajan converse with Ozawa down to earth. Both respect each other. And it's interesting that Karajan has formal wear and Ozawa casual. Karajan is speaking very valuable lessons for all the conductors and musicians as well.

@Flynn Braylon Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Japanese people respect authoriy, master and teacher A LOT. To act arrogantly is not acceptable and against their moral code. Karajan is the BIGGEST at those days and he was also Ozawa's teacher for some time. So Ozawa here is acting with full respect, praising and compliment Karajan all the way down.
Karajan was and still is above ALL conductors. A human being with super natural talent. He was/is the Mozart and Beethoven in conducting. Unbelievable...
It must be 1983 or so, because Ozawa says "I'm music director for that orchestra for 8 years..." He became director in 1975, as I recall. Plus, it may be a Japanese video, due to the captions. Great to see these two musical giants talking. It's like a mini master class.
Un colloquio tra amici. Il più anziano ed esperto (uno dei pochi geni del '900, secondo il mio parere) impartisce bellissime lezioni di vita e di direzione al suo allievo più giovane. Tra l'altro Ozawa fu anche suo stretto collaboratore alla direzione, chiamato a Berlino per molti anni. Si nota abbastanza chiaramente che l'atmosfera è molto amichevole, difficile trovare un Karajan più rilassato, pronto a farsi sopraffare dall'entusiasmo quasi fanciullesco del più giovane Ozawa, che riesce addirittura a parlargli sopra. Un video davvero piacevole che spiega piuttosto bene quanto possa essere importante un buon rapporto umano, al fine di ottenere risultati; artistici o professionali che essi possano essere.
Thanks for this wonderful interview. I am shocked by the fact that Ozawa at almost 46, already music director "from many years", didn't know who Mengelberg was!! After this, HvK seems to talk to him as to a teenager conductor, in my opinion.
Karajan’s gaze was gentle, as if his father was admonishing him to do so. Maestro had a very heartwarming personality towards his disciples who he was open to. And, this Karajan’s talking has very important Connotation. The methodology is centered around establishing beliefs. Karajan and his allies Dr.Böhm, Szell, and Matačić etc. have undoubtedly had that sensibility since childhood. They were not the job of sales conductors, but the Professional Genuine conductors. It takes a lot of time, daily study, and healthy control to make Karajanism a "Force" in a private medicine basket. This is backed by an extremely valuable amount of time and dedication.
QUÉ HERMOSO VIDEO ,MR.KARAJAN GRAN MAESTRO , AL FIN LOGRO ESCUCHAR SU VOZ, AMABLE DE OJOS GRANDES LUMINOSOS , EL PADRE DE LA PERFECCIÓN ORQUESTAL VOCAL,DEJÓ UN VALIOSO LEGADO , DISFRUTO SUS PRESENTACIONES , SON MARAVILLOSAS.Q.E.D..(Los Ángeles Chile).
yes, there are. Karajan really respectful. I could not imagine a interwiev of Furtwaengler respectful of Karajan. He was a enviuos man, even if a great artist. (excuse me for my bad english).
yes, I know:-) I love in great persons also their great difects, so interesting. Furtwaengler was envious, without a reason because he was a great. But ok this is nice and interesting as well. It's funny all this between really heroes of art. Oh wish we have a again great men like thery were, with their great qualities and "great"faults. BTW ... there were the great F, after the great K, and the K it's not Knappertbusch.
Karajan spoke in ANY language no bullshit,just to the point and never had paciance with bullshiters !!! Haitink,just the same,great maestro,i know so,i workrd with him !
@carlosbuscatore ----ah...eres chileno...con razón no entendíste mi comentario--a manera de sarcasmo--- porque el también maestro Ozawa, le da un parecido al cómico mexicano , Jo-Jo Jorge Falcón (poner nombre en buscador si se quiere constatar)--saludos
