Product Description

Long regarded as the quintessential interpretation of the most popular and best-loved symphony ever written, this performance of the Fifth has everything: passion, precision, drama, lyric beauty, and a coiled fury in the first movement that sets your pulse racing from the very first note. Carlos Kleiber has made very few recordings in his distinguished career, but almost all are special. If you own no other copy of this symphony, this is the one to get. It comes with an exceptional performance of the Seventh-not quite as gripping as the Fifth, but definitely one of the great ones. There is classical music, and there are classic recordings of classical music. This one's a classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST ever???! ! !

08-07-2014-------Ok, Ok, so i'l join the legions of fans marching to the abyss of extasey with this gold Standard 5th and 7th with Carlos Kleiber and the Vienna philharmonic on DGG.Not since the release of the Gorecki 3rd Symphony, "of Sorrowful Songs, " hs Classical Music enoyed such rabid popurity, so why is this so? Well, for one thing, Kleiber, to my ears, simply lets the eenergy and vitality of the composer sing out naturally and we can ear Beethoven as he really was. That's areat in itself as so many conductors think they have his voice in hand. Kleiber prefers to stand to the side and I, for one, appreciate that move. the 7th in A, a symphony I prefer to the more famous little brother 5th, is particularly notable for the gripping soaring and wonderuflly poignant Adagio funeral march.
The Symphony #5 in c-minor runs a compact 33:22 and the 7th is abit longer at 38;36, and both have a fully satisfying well reared feel to them. Kleiber, noted for his detailed and meticulou and very particular venues, making his USA Debut in 1978, age 48 with the CSO. In fact, that Chicago performance was his only American date in his 74 lears of life, which also included a tota;of pn;y 96mcncerts total, in any country. opera dates were restricted to about 400 in total.
He was offered the Md post of the Berlin Phil. but declined and sometimes, instead of a money fee for service. he would opt for a specially engineered Audi, tailored to his specifications. Yes, Kleiber was eccentric, but a genius and Claudio Abbado said of him, that he was "one of the greatest, if not THE greatest conductors of the 20th Century." High praise from a high place--WOW!
BBC Music Magazine stated in it's March issue in 2011, that CK had been selected as "the greatest conductor of all-time." He came in ahead of Bernstein and Abbado, two pretty heavy-duty names.
All in all, despite the interesting figure of the artist, a titan amongst smaller, yet equally earnest peers, Kleiber was, noted for being a maestro who understood these works on the essential visceral level, deeply, totally, lovingly and with an uncompromisingly keen sense of balance and appropriateness. This disc comes highly recommended. and a stratospheric 5 star stretch, as few of my other reviews have ever contained. I find, unfortunately, little if any evidence of his having recorded the entire Beethoven cycle, but I'm still searching. If so, it could be a once in a lifetime treasure to unearth and purchase, anyone know if he did such a project?? Until then, best wishes and God bless you, everyone, Tony. AMDG!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A top-notch recording!

Sound:
This re-mastering in Blu-ray audio is much better than the "original-image-bit-processing" CD version. The bass is tighter, deeper, and more detailed with the right timbre. Somehow the timpani in the CD version sounds a bit out of tune, even when I hear that with my 2012 laptop, equipped with Dolby Home Theater v4, and my AKG K240 headphones. The timpani in the blu-ray version sounds right!

I love the reverberation produced in the Musikvereinssaal (Vienna) hall, too!

Some technical details:
I play the blu-ray with an external BD player. The software attached to the player allows me to select TrueTheater Surround as an audio output mode. Although the display of the blu-ray says: "2.0 PCM 24-bit/96 KHz", "2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio 24-bit/96 KHz", and "2.0 Dolby TrueHD 24-bit/96 KHz" -- so it's not 5.0 surround! (like the earlier SACD version[?]), the TrueTheater Surround in the software allows me to choose "2 speaker", "headphones", "4 speaker", "6 speaker", and "8 speaker", of which the "4 speaker" sounds the best in my ears, with "Music mode-standard" configuration for the "multi-channel environment impression mode".

Interpretation:
I love Kleiber's interpretation of Beethoven's 5th symphony, in particular. IMHO, Kleiber's interpretation of the 5th symphony overall is better than Giulini's (though the 4th movement by Giulini has more detail, probably due to its [much] slower pace), Karajan's 1960s, 1970s, or 1980s versions, Klemperer's 1950s version, and Tilson Thomas's recent 2000s version. More specifically, Kleiber's first movement of Beethoven's 5th symphony is wow -- just wow. It's not too fast (e.g., Chailly's or Gardiner's versions), not too slow (e.g., that of Klemperer or Barenboim).

Personally speaking, I prefer "modern instrument" like that of Kleiber to "period instrument" (e.g., Gardiner's).

Beethoven's 7th is more rhythmic than lyrical, I think, and Kleiber makes this symphony very powerful. I personally like Beethoven's 5th better than his 7th symphony, so that's all I can comment on it, but it's a very fine recording nonetheless.

Thanks DG for re-issuing this legendary recording in blu-ray, especially because the DVD-audio version produced in 2004 has been very rare (and ridiculously expensive!) on the U.S. Amazon.

En mi opinión, versiones de absoluta referencia, junto a las de Furt wangler, Klemperer y pocos más...siendo dos obras excesivamente trilladas. Especialmente la quinta es puro fuego, ritmo, perfección insrumental, como cabe esperar de los de la de Viena. Kleiber fiel a sus principios perfección hasta lo neurótico u absoluto genio con un repertorio de grabciones muy escaso. Recomendación total
