| | Amazon.com: Carlos Kleiber - New Year's Concert 1992, Vienna: DVD: Carlos Kleiber,Josef Strauss,Otto Nicolai (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) |
 | | This is one of Kleiber's later rare TV appearances, and he is firmly in control of the Vienna Philharmonic: with minimal gestures, he conjures the needed music from the VPO musicians, be it Nicolai, Johann Strauss Jr. |
 | | Still, the flow of the music is natural and Kleiber's leadership never becomes invasive or "masterful," as in say Herbert von Karajan's Tchaikovsky Symphony recordings (DG CDs). |
 | | Incidentally, Karajan's NEW YEARS CONCERT FROM VIENNA (Sony DVD) is excellent in every respect, and not masterful at all, as his Tchaikovsky was. |
