I think that Von Karajan probably had the biggest ego of just about anyone
in the 20th century. I wouldn't expect him to have repented. He felt himself
incapable of error.

Von Karajan, who joined in 1935, was a member of the Nazi Party.  
Afterward, he was unrepentant.  I never bought any of his recordings 
because I don't support Nazis, no matter what they are selling.
