Weber: Der Freischütz
Carl Maria von Weber, Carlos Kleiber, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1998

Kleiber's genius is the key here
For most listeners, taking on faith that this legendary recording really is great, there's nothing to be disappointed by. Before Carlos Kleiber came to the score, Der Freischutz was a comfortable staple in German opera houses, to be absorbed along with strudel and beer ...
  
  











  



  
Beethoven: Symphonies 5 & 7
Ludwig van Beethoven, Carlos Kleiber, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1996

Great performances
This is the best modern recording of Beethoven symphonies. A collectors album of the highest quality. R. Brown
  
  











  



  
Schubert: Symphonies 3 & 8 / Carlos Kleiber, Wiener Philharmoniker
Franz Schubert, Carlos Kleiber, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1997

5 stars, but this is for Carlos Kleiber's fans: more about Kleiber than Schubert
I gave Carlos Kleiber's 1978 recording of Schubert's "Unfinished" and 3rd (D Major) Symphonies 5 stars, but this is definitely for Kleiber's fans: and more about Kleiber than Schubert. Carlos Kleiber has become a cult figure with almost pop star following among music ...
  
  











  



  
Carlos Kleiber - New Year's Concert 1992, Vienna
Carlos Kleiber, Josef Strauss

Philips, 2005

Beautiful picture resolution and sound make me feel like I'm in Vienna
Philips has hit the top specs with this DVD: the picture resolution and sound are so good, clear and accurate they make me feel as though I'm in Vienna, live at this January 1, 1992 concert of the Vienna Philharmonic conducted by Carlos Kleiber (1930-2004). This is ...
  
  











  



  
Bizet - Carmen / Obraztsova, Domingo, Mazurok, Buchanan, Rydl, Zednik, Kleiber, Vienna Opera
Carlos Kleiber, Elena Obraztsova

Tdk DVD Video, 2005

The air abounds with wonderful Carmens
Having recently reviewed the von Karajan film of Carmen, I was compelled to rewatch this production, which came out about the same time, in order to compare two very different versions of Bizet's masterwork, one of the greatest operas of all time. Having explored them ...
  
  











  



  
Rapture: Opera's Most Heavenly Moments
Rapture-Opera's Most Heavenly Moments

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

Heavenly music
This is a wonderful background for any tension realeasing activity, like reading a book. So glad I purchased it.
  
  











  



  
Johannes Brahms: Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98 - Carlos Kleiber / Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra
Johannes Brahms, Carlos Kleiber, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1998

Kleiber does it again.
I have always found Carlos Kleiber an interesting and enigmatic conductor. One whose performances are worth hearing time and again. Ditto with this fine recording. Brahms might also be viewed as an enimga, and his dense orchestral works either attract or put ...
  
  











  



  
Verdi - La Traviata / Cotrubas · Domingo · Milnes · Bayerisches Staatsorchester · Carlos Kleiber
Giuseppe Verdi, Carlos Kleiber, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1990

Verdi - La Traviata / Cotrubas · Domingo · Milnes · Bayerisches Staatsorchester · Carlos Kleiber
There are just no words that explain how the music over whelms the soul and has the body swaying whilst the voice attempts to reach the various notes of these accomplised artists. One can only feel an overwhelming envy of those having the capability of, dear I say, ...
  
  











  



  
Strauss - Der Rosenkavalier / Gwyneth Jones, Brigitte Fassbaender, Lucia Popp, Manfred Jungwirth, Benno ...
Gwyneth Jones, Brigitte Fassbaender

Philips, 2005

Music from Heaven
Kleiber conducts a brisk performance which flows very nicely with the singing and action going on. The only competition of this DVD is the other one also conducted by Kleiber. The one under review here has Popp as Sophie, Jones as Marschallin, and Fassbaender as ...
  
  











  



  
Carlos Kleiber - Beethoven Symphonies 4 and 7
Kleiber, Beethoven

Philips, 2005

Great 4th and Kleiber's best Beethoven 7th.
This is a very long waited DVD by all those who knew the Laser Disc with this same performances filmed live in the Dutch Concertgebouw in the `80s. First of all we have to mention the very close relation that exist between Carlos Kleiber and Beethoven's world, ...
  
  











  



  
Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 5 & 7
Beethoven, Vpo, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2003

Musical value: 100 percent; Sound upgrade: 100 percent
Here is the return of one of classical music's most revered recordings in sound that makes it competitive with everything recorded today. I don't subscribe to the audiophile warning given elsewhere on this page, for this recording sounds every bit as good as 2005 first ...
  
  











  



  
Wagner: Tristan und Isolde
Richard Wagner, Carlos Kleiber, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2005

conversion time
As many of the reviews on this page testify, diehard Wagnerites live and breathe a world of their own when it comes to recordings of his monumental operas, especially Tristan und Isolde, and more power to them. As a musician who has resisted Wagner for most of my life, ...
  
  











  



  
Tribute to a Unique Artist
Johannes Brahms, Franz Schubert, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2004

One of the finest bargains in the entire classical catalog
One in a while one of the classical labels does something a bit more than right. I owned Kleiber's famous version of Brahms's 4th back in the heady days of the LP and would have bought just that on CD. But to commemorate the career and extremely limited recording ...
  
  











  



  
Richard Strauss - Der Rosenkavalier / Carlos Kleiber, Otto Schenk - Lott, von Otter, Bonney - Wiener ...
Felicity Lott, Kurt Moll

Deutsche Grammophon, 2001

Kleiber 1994 versus Kleiber 1979 ... the winner is ...
Carlos Kleiber, one of the most magnetic masters on the podium, leads this radiant and utterly enjoyable DVD performance of Rosenkavalier, recorded in 1994, Vienna. His approach less brilliant, but more relaxed than his 1979 tape with the Munich Staatsoper. As to the ...
  
  











  



  
Mozart: Symphony No. 36/Brahms: Symphony No. 2
Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra

Philips, 2005

The Brahms merits a 6th star
Here you will find one of the most compelling performances of the Brahms second symphony you're likely to find around. With committed, indeed fiery playing from the VPO as exacted by Kleiber, this is Brahms at his most volatile, romantic and energetic, with lively ...
