Carlos Kleiber -Beethoven symphony No.7, Op.92 : mov.4

B-R-A-V-O!

"His few recordings . . . exemplify the art of conducting at its highest. For anyone fortunate enough to have witnessed him in performance, the experience was unforgettable." -- Ted Libby writing about Carlos Kleiber in "The NPR Listener's Encyclopedia of Classical Music."

His reaction to the wrong trumpet at 2:12 is really great especially the following two cues for the same trumpet...

Why do you think the trumpet is wrong? Not being smart. My musical ear isn't the best.

Intonation. He's too low. That's my best guess at least, from what I can hear. Obviously my ear isn't as good as Maestro Kleiber's ear.

I may be wrong, but my impression is that it's the timpanist with whom he was irritated.

If you like this one, I would definitely recommend the video of Kleiber conducting Strauss' Rosenkavalier Overture!

then deutche gramaphone is my candy store.

I especially like how the room is dark behind him, so it looks like his hands are floating around in the air.

i was about to thumbs you down about the bore comment. and then you said it's about taste. cheers!!!!
