BBC Music Magazine, one of the more popular such journals, announced on 17 March 2011 that Kleiber had been selected as "the greatest conductor of all time." Some 100 current conductors, including Sir Colin Davis, Gustavo Dudamel, Valery Gergiev and Mariss Jansons participated in the BBC poll.
There was a Birthday Bash for Beethoven at the Beethoven Center in San Jose, CA, Sat. Dec 17, 2011. A documentary called "Beethoven, the beginning" was shown.
@ThePianoPhenomenon Nonsense! It is better to listen to this music these days rather than in the past, because now we can see which humans can really distinguish between good and bad music!
@1GunKnight I wonder if you have any idea that a time machine can not just take you to the past, but also bring you back to the present. i for one would appreciate seeing some of the legendary composers live in a concert , Or you actually know of a fictional technology that can do that too? ;)
I'm going to go against the grain here, but I much prefer Karanjan's version ( the 60's one, which are far superior to the ones from the 80s which are way too bland) .
@AlainNaigeon One only has 500 characters to write! Basically, I find Karajan's version a lot more dynamic, it sweeps me along, Kleiber doesn't manage that feeling with me. The sound is rather muffled ( which may have nothing to do with the playing but just a technical problem), and a bit boring. Ultimatly, I just like Karajan's version more, but that's me, and you may prefer a Klemperer or a Bernstein!
@barnaby1988 Thanks ! I'd have to listen several times to the different versions to get an opinion. I like this symphony very much - unfortunately, when you find something on YT, it's often the second movement, which isn't the one I prefer.
BTW, it's amazing to see how different are the styles of the two conductors !
I'd really like to listen to this symphony in concert - I haven't :-)
OMG the sequence beginning at 7:15 Beethoven = genious !!
@imperiumdiaboli Wagner called it "The Apotheosis of the Dance;" and there is an account of him (possibly a bit intoxicated,) having danced to B'ven's Seventh Symphony. I don't think that incident involved Yaks, but neither do I think yaks are in any way Excluded...
Kleiber makes pretty much any other conductor to ever exist look like a total and complete fool. He's just such a master, this version drives me insane... it's just so... perfect.
This is my favourite recording on YouTube. It is payed at the right tempo, many version play the 'poco sostenuto' too slow and the 'allegro' too fast. I think Karajan's 1963 recording is the best, but oddly, I can't seem to find it on YouTube (some of his other ones are here, but i dislike the static and sound quality).
Breathtaking. A Beethoven lover's favorite. Heard it first at Heinz Hall years ago. You could hear a pin drop. I fell in love with this second movement.
Damn, Enough with jumping into the "technology saving music lovers" bandwagon. If someone did have a time machine , wouldn't I just come back after I attend those concerts? :P Chill! Anyways , my point is just that music was so amazing in the 18th century. Wish we had someone like Beethoven in our era as well. We might've had a few who got buried under all the mainstream music which is the sad part.
@LeviMan2001 But the music was written 200 years ago, and that's all that matters. The fact that 95% of all classical music concerts are filled with the music of men that have long passed on is revealing. Of course there's good music today (in all genres), but GREAT music was produced at a significantly higher rate and per capita in the 17th-19th Centuries.
@GGbreizh Did you read my comment carefully? I said "of course there's good music today..." But also note I said that great music was produced at a "significantly higher rate" in the previous eras. Seriously, look at the programming of every single concert. Just look at it. Look at Tanglewood's season schedule. Look at every major symphony, chamber society, Great Pianists series, etc. Look at what they're performing! Then we can talk...
@howdilydoodily What I meant is that there is a lot of great music that has been composed in the 20st century. The music from the 17th 18th and 19th is more played the music of the other centuries, but the difference is not that high.
The movement is CUT in the middle. This video just CUTS you in the middle of a note, in the middle of the movement... TERRIBLE! Also, I find the tempo a little slow, but I'm not an expert.
@HayleyMaree12 Could you be less precise? I understand too clearly waht you mean. I mean, such an abundance of argumentation from your part leaves me confused...
@ThePianoPhenomenon Wrong century? You can watch this anytime on youtube. Back then you had to wait for a concert and go to a select few cities to listen to this.
@ThePianoPhenomenon Music fans of the 19th Century would kill to be you, with all kinds of brilliant performances of almost all of their music at your fingertips.
@ThePianoPhenomenon You came at the right age when Youtube makes it affordable to enjoy masterpieces without being part of a small rich aristocracy like in 18th century. Plus, now you have all Beethoven's music without waiting to be composed first. :)
@ThePianoPhenomenon When this music was born, neither youtube nor any speakers existed!!! Most likely you would have had very little chance of hearing the same beethoven symphony twice!
@ThePianoPhenomenon For lovers of classical music, there isn't a better time to be alive. It's a thriving industry, the classical music recording industry, and there are an embarrassment of riches. You could spend your life collecting Beethoven's recordings alone. Not to mention all of the wonderful 20th century music, too. If you lived in the 17th or 18th century, you could enjoy this music only rarely. Now, we can have it 24-hours a day, piped into our homes, offices, cars, the street, etc.
@ThePianoPhenomenon Also, I find it funny you say "used to be great." Beethoven more popular now, listened to by more people the world over, than when he was alive. Mass media has help give him to the world. I don't get this kind of nostalgia---music is still great.
@darkprose You are talking about how much more "available" music is today which I agree to and this has helped his works spread across the globe. Doesn't mean that today's music is great. Today its all about the money. If you have a good face to look at, you are the next big thing. Every new song that you hear is either autotuned or is reasonably similar to other songs or the worst of all , "inspired" from popular classics. I believe "used to be great" is actually quite an understatement.
@ThePianoPhenomenon anything worth time for is never going to be right in front of you. there is great music being put out today of all kinds of genres, you just have to know where to look.
@ThePianoPhenomenon you do realize that you can listen to a billion times more classical music now then then, you can listen to everything the poeple of that time listend to and all clasical works since, if you had been boarn in the 18th century you would most likely never have had the chanse to listen to this kind of music.
@ThePianoPhenomenon I couldn't agree with you more. When the likes of Miley Cirus, Rhianna, and Britney Spears are considered "Music" superstars, it tells you that there's something deeply wrong with today's world.
@ThePianoPhenomenon I imagine for every Beethoven, there were thousands of inferior composers, and it's not like they had the recording technology that disseminates music like we have today, so I wouldn't complain too much about being born in this century. ;-)
@ThePianoPhenomenon It's ok. Classical is the only music that surpasses the centuries and ultimately, millenia. No other music can stand the test of real time.
@ThePianoPhenomenon I wonder if you'd be equally appreciative of living with no electricity, computers, television, or automobiles, and dying at the age of 60.
I love this movement more than the famous 2nd movement. This movement has so much power in it. Very heroic and romantic themes. I have this on my iPod and have listened to the whole thing numerous times. I'm 16 and I love classical :)
@Elainelps0421 Don't be fearful of the future of classical music. Beethoven's stuff are 200 years old and still get hundreds of thousands of views on a site that has been started about 5 years ago. Heck his moonlight sonata gets more than 10 million views so far. I am more fearful of pop music - I wonder how Lady Gaga is going to survive 200 years.
@odisap Hi, thanks for your comment, very encouriging. I would like to make use of it to ask, how can I get the music from the original DVD by M Kleiber on my iphone??
Fantastic conductor, woah.... one of the best symphony no. 7 i have heard so far, the conducting done by the Carlos kleiber were really passionate and brought out the full and timely emotions of the piece! he is one true lover of music.
@bowedmyhead Perhaps you should have a sense of humour. I´m a huge Kleiber fan, I was just making a joke. You are just being pathetic. Get off your high horses my friend...
The unique and marvellous instinctive choreography of 3:43 to 4:47, with a special emphasis at 4:23, with which he 'drives' and expresses the music is unbelievable and never ceases to amaze me. Someone said he has 'el duende' and that's what it is, something magical, physical, but out of this world. Carlos you are still alive here for us! Welcome!
The video cuts off at THE most sublime moment of the whole movement, the orgasm if you will. For that reason this is a horrible video. How could you chop it up like this and feel proud of posting it?
I love the coy look he gives at 3:58 followed by some dainty lighthearted bouncing. He's truly inhabiting the world of Beethoven's music, and expressing it without inhibition. No wonder people love this guy! :-)
this first movement of LVB's 7th is my fav of favs...still can't say exactly why, but it just seems to have it all. What other piece can cause conductors like Kleiber and Furtwangler to go all Pete Townshend and have it just barely be enough to keep up with the music. LOL.
I love the transition at 3:40 onward. Such subtle gesture to express crucial rhythmical detail. What JuanCarlos says is true: Karajan's eyes would surely be closed and Bernstein would be sweating.
You just have to love what he does at 3:56. You certainly wouldn't see Abbado or Karajan doing that in ANY performance. And God knows in what shape would Bernstein would be by that point.
Can any wind players comment on the instrument being played by the 1st flautist? Since it's wooden I assumed at first that it was a piccolo. But it looks to big and sounds too low to be a piccolo. Is it an older style of flute?
It's hard to put into words one's reaction to watching the work of a genius like this. He understands this music perfectly and then acts it out for the orchestra in a way that makes it impossible for them to do anything but what he wants. It's a shame he left us relatively few recordings, for someone of his stature. He was an irreplaceable musician.
Dirige muy bien Carlos Kleiber,pero,yo (en mi opinion personal) creo que Karajan es mucho mejor dirigiendo,si no me creen,solo les pido que vean el video de Karajan dirigiendo la 5a sinfonia de Ludwig Van Beethoven.
I always have this image in my mind, of an overtly serious professor come marching into the lecture hall, who starts his lecture solemnly about the universe, then suddenly says, "Screw this lecture; let's go outside and see what we can learn today!"
The rest of the music is the chaos and joy that follows...
I'll just stand there and do nothing, then surpise everyone by having a sudden release of energy

Perhaps you should watch any FUN videos?
This policeman is doing a wonderful job and his whole expression shows energy, concentration and _what a gift to us- joy.

@bowedmyhead Perhaps you should have a sense of humour. I´m a huge Kleiber fan, I was just making a joke. You are just being pathetic. Get off your high horses my friend...

@noirvalentin
Why so aggressive - you huge fan with a sense of humour? I try not to be your friend and you calm down, all right?
And anyway, Kleiber would laugh in heaven about this silly word quarrelling, dont you think?

@Jitpring it seems that the original uploaded clip was (or less than) 360p so no fmt=18 clip available.

Interesting; you hold he was better than von Karajan, Furtwängler, Beecham and Toscanini? That's some pretty exclusive company!

The unique and marvellous instinctive choreography of 3:43 to 4:47, with a special emphasis at 4:23, with which he 'drives' and expresses the music is unbelievable and never ceases to amaze me. Someone said he has 'el duende' and that's what it is, something magical, physical, but out of this world. Carlos you are still alive here for us! Welcome!

A truly wonderful rendition as Kleiber causes the orchestra not just to play the music, but to become the heart and soul of it.

The video cuts off at THE most sublime moment of the whole movement, the orgasm if you will. For that reason this is a horrible video. How could you chop it up like this and feel proud of posting it?

I love the coy look he gives at 3:58 followed by some dainty lighthearted bouncing. He's truly inhabiting the world of Beethoven's music, and expressing it without inhibition. No wonder people love this guy! :-)

this first movement of LVB's 7th is my fav of favs...still can't say exactly why, but it just seems to have it all. What other piece can cause conductors like Kleiber and Furtwangler to go all Pete Townshend and have it just barely be enough to keep up with the music. LOL.

At 4:24, it's time to rock and roll, baby. Way to go, Kleiber! He has such fun with this.
This movement is a total romp. Proof that Beethoven would have blown the doors off of any musical age he happened to be a part of.

@lordprobe do you play music sometimes ? you don't need to stare at the conductor in order to watch his indications.

I love the transition at 3:40 onward. Such subtle gesture to express crucial rhythmical detail. What JuanCarlos says is true: Karajan's eyes would surely be closed and Bernstein would be sweating.

You just have to love what he does at 3:56. You certainly wouldn't see Abbado or Karajan doing that in ANY performance. And God knows in what shape would Bernstein would be by that point.

Can any wind players comment on the instrument being played by the 1st flautist? Since it's wooden I assumed at first that it was a piccolo. But it looks to big and sounds too low to be a piccolo. Is it an older style of flute?

It's hard to put into words one's reaction to watching the work of a genius like this. He understands this music perfectly and then acts it out for the orchestra in a way that makes it impossible for them to do anything but what he wants. It's a shame he left us relatively few recordings, for someone of his stature. He was an irreplaceable musician.

Dirige muy bien Carlos Kleiber,pero,yo (en mi opinion personal) creo que Karajan es mucho mejor dirigiendo,si no me creen,solo les pido que vean el video de Karajan dirigiendo la 5a sinfonia de Ludwig Van Beethoven.

he should have been the chief conductor of the berliner philharmoniker, but he refused.

I always have this image in my mind, of an overtly serious professor come marching into the lecture hall, who starts his lecture solemnly about the universe, then suddenly says, "Screw this lecture; let's go outside and see what we can learn today!"
The rest of the music is the chaos and joy that follows...
