	Carlos Kleiber: Not a great conductor

		Erich Kleiber had conducted the world premiere of Berg's Wozzeck in 1925 and at Covent Garden in the 1950s conducted memorable performances of Wozzeck and of Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier.

		Kleiber is the son of a great conductor, the son of a minor God, perhaps the most modem of his generation, in a time called the Golden age of conductors.
		There is something unhealthy in Kleiber's clear emotional instability, in his uncertainty, in his most jealous preservation of his personal life from the raids of fans and reporters, who want to peek into the intimate and artistic thought of the mythical personality of this legendary conductor.
		Kleiber, himself, shared with the musicians during one of the rehearsals in Las Palmas that he was a "useless luxury" to music; a luxury to a profession that created minor Gods for the "Olympus of all arts".

		Kleiber then proceeds to build a series of comic climaxes that realize all the comic potential inherent in the score.

	Gifted, Eccentric Conductor Carlos Kleiber Dies at 74 (washingtonpost.com)

		Kleiber chose to conduct only when his freezer got empty, and he was often rumored to be retired, only to appear for another round of concerts.

		Kleiber is alive to every change in the accompanying motives, brings out every strand of the often complex textures, sees that the throbbing syncopations in the background have their effect, that every trill speaks.
		Kleiber is not alone in noticing that Beethoven’s marking for this last movement is only fractionally faster than that of the Scene by a Brook.
		Kleiber, assisted by fervent tones of the Czech strings, crowns his account of the symphony with a truly heartfelt hymn to nature.

		Kleiber brings a militantly alert manner to the first movement (even the fermatas in the opening bars are rigorously compressed, but do not detract from the powerful impact of the whole).
		Erich Kleiber was the closest ting Germany produced to a Toscanini, in that his interpretations were often tense, almost hectic, and highly controlled.
		Kleiber's Concertgebouw Eroica, projected in the empyrean of Titans, showing the heights of his inimitable interpretation, exuding light and hope, peace-inspiring in its opening, and passionate, fervent but controlled, in its climax, captivating the audiences of history, is the most moving and exciting on disc.

		Kleiber died on July 13 at 74, but in keeping with the mystery that surrounded his later years, his death was announced only on Monday.
		The Kleibers left Germany in 1935, because Erich was opposed to the Nazi regime's racism and antimodernism, and they eventually settled in Argentina, where their son Karl became known as Carlos.
		Erich Kleiber, like many other musician parents, was leery of having his son enter the family business: an especially daunting path for the child of a famous conductor.

		Kleiber fans may not care, and may well learn something about his approach to tempo and orchestral discipline, but for the average listener these recordings (which date from 1928 to 1948) do not adequately represent the music.
		The English horn soloist in the famous slow movement is quite good, though Kleiber's tendency to speed up and slow down repetitions of melodic fragments makes the violins' statement of the main theme sound impatient.
		His stiffness at the points of transition in all four movements, though, can't help but raise the issue of whether or not he was comfortable recording at this juncture in his career (1929).

	Classical Net Review - Erich Kleiber Conducts the NBC Symphony Orchestra
		Kleiber was most famous for his masculine yet sensitive interpretations of the Viennese classics; Mozart and Beethoven are the dominant composers in his relatively sparse discography.
		Kleiber made two studio recordings of the "Eroica," however, so this NBC reading is not a crucial addition to the Kleiber archives.
		It appears that Kleiber was too respectful to play around with Beethoven et al., but all bets were off outside of the Classical repertoire.

		Five years ago, Naxos brought out Kleiber’s brisk reading of the New World Symphony from 1929 with the Berlin State Opera Orchestra (8.110907), a performance whose quick speeds are actually surpassed by his Cologne interpretation of 16 November 1954.

		Kleiber premiered the work and it would have been a logical choice, especially since Kleiber is not represented here by ANY modern music at all.
		As Kleiber died in 1956 at the dawn of the stereo age, the performances presented here are all in mono but don't let that dissappoint you.

		To lump Carlos Kleiber together with others by saying "one of the..." is already doing him injustice - too unique was this son of the conducting great Erich Kleiber.
		Kleiber's genius had him recognized as the most exciting conductor of his time, especially after Bernstein was dead.
		Which, with his unsurpassed sense of musical architecture, was one of the reasons why critics were so effusive in finding neologisms of praise for him (or leaving their column blank, declaring a Brahms e-minor symphony so 'complete' that they were at a loss for words).

		His two operatic recordings, Le nozze di Figaro and Der Rosenkavalier, achieved classic status from the moment they were first released and have never left the DECCA catalogue; some would argue that they have rarely been equalled let alone improved upon.
		Erich Kleiber died in Zurich on 27 January 1956 - the 200th anniversary of the death of Mozart.

		Indeed, it is Kleiber's inspired direction that constitutes one of the principal reasons for acquiring this thrilling performance.
		Always known as a severe taskmaster, Kleiber demands and receives a performance of admirable cohesion and discipline, both from the vocalists and the orchestra.
