Carlos Kleiber has made very few recordings in his distinguished career, but almost all are special. If you own no other copy of this symphony, this is the one to get. It comes with an exceptional performance of the Seventh--not quite as gripping as the Fifth, but definitely one of the great ones. There is classical music, and there are classic recordings of classical music. This one's a classic. -- David Hurwitz Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Fresh AND traditional, a classic amongst many. Kleiber's account of the 5th stands out because of its precision and speed. Usually these two factors relate inversely and therein lies Kleiber's achievement, I would say, especially considering that this symphony's drama requires an urgency. Karajan's '63 recording is precise and reasonably quick, however it is a rather interpretive account and also pares off some of the space between the strings, bass, and brass. Karajan's '77 recording may be equally interpretive in its conception but nonetheless, ... Read More Rating: - 9/8 The Fifth is marvelus. Played very good, one of the all-time best, but he failed in the seventh. The Allegretto is TOO fast, too rushed. Played like they have too hurry. Tempo in the second movment in the seventh syphonis is vrong for me. Buy it for the fifth, not for the seventh. Rating: - Classic Beethoven This was one of the very first classical music CDs that I ever purchased. I was somewhat familiar with Beethoven's 5th, but not the 7th. Needless to say, I have acquired many more CDs since then. For Beethoven, I feel that I can never have too many recordings of his symphonies. I own the Zinman/Tonhalle set, the Krips/LSO set, Karajan EMI/Philharmonia set, Gardiner/ORR set, and the Cluytens/Berlin Phil. set. Of individual recordings of 5 and 7, I have this along with Reiner and the CSO, and Haitink ... Read More Rating: - Great performances This is the best modern recording of Beethoven symphonies. A collectors album of the highest quality. R. Brown Rating: - The Best 5 & 7 Beethoven's Symphonies Carlos Kleiber is known for his obsession for perfection. He made few records, but everything he recorded is in excellent quality. He has become a legend of the regency. But this recording of Beethoven's 5 e 7 Symphonies is not only the apex of his career, but the classical and Imortal record of this works. If you want one performance of this music, it's your choice. see more Browse for similar items by category: Classical - Styles - Music - General ( B ) - Featured Composers, A-Z - Classical - Styles - Music - Beethoven, Ludwig van ( V ) - Featured Performers, A-Z - Classical - Styles - Music - Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Symphonies - Forms & Genres - Classical - Styles - Music - Romantic Classical (c.1770-1830) - Historical Periods - Classical - Styles - Music - General
