Beethoven Bayerisches Staatsorchester

S.​Mikorey in FonoForum 9/84:"Das Resul- tat begeistert.​Und das selbstverständlich nicht nur hinsichtlich der überraschend gu- ten Aufnahmetechnik,dem klar aufgeschlüs- selten und doch voluminösen Klangbild,son- dern vor allem in bezug auf den interpreta- torischen Rang.​ .​.​Eine sehr persöhnliche, hochdramatisch zugespitzte Auslegung.​"

Carlos Kleiber was perhaps the most highly regarded conductor of the late 20th century, but his relatively few excursions into the studio have left the musical world with a frustratingly small number of recordings. Thus we are particularly fortunate that, from among the relatively few appearances in his career, several concerts, one operetta and two operas were filmed. This concert with the Bayerisches Staatsorchester from Munich's Herkulessaal in October 1996 was on of his last.
