Mastercut Edition No. 23 Carlos Kleiber / Wiener Philharmoniker Beethoven: Symphony No. 7

Mastercut Records Archival Tape Editions – The highly acclaimed yet elusive Austrian conductor Carlos Kleiber (Karl Ludwig Kleiber) only recorded 9 studio recordings in his 5-decades career.

A perfectionist in extremis, Carlos Kleiber disliked recordings. He’s quoted saying that “every unproduced record is a good record”.

Those he made have come to occupy a special place in the medium’s history:
His recordings of Beethoven’s 5th and 7th symphonies featuring the Wiener Philharmoniker are hailed as among the most outstanding classical recordings ever made.
