ÍøÆغÚÁÏ.co.uk

Long regarded as the quintessential interpretation of the most popular and best-loved symphony ever written, this performance of the Fifth has everything: passion, precision, drama, lyric beauty, and a coiled fury in the first movement that sets your pulse racing from the very first note. 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

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to classical music! The range of dynamics is a bit of an issue...
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 October 2021
    Verified Purchase
    I'm an aging Metal head and wanted to try something different. Inspired by the classical element present in some of my favorite metal bands e.g. Metallica's 'Master of Puppets,' but more directly in this case, Sepultura's 'Ludwig Van' track off the Clockwork Orange-inspired 'A-Lex,' a few 'Where to start with Classical Music?' searches into Google later, pointed me in this albums' direction a couple of times. Beethoven's' probably the most 'Metal' composer as far I could see as well, so bonus points!
    As mentioned, I'm not a Classical music buff, so really my opinion is pretty moot, however, I do find the music here to be pretty accessible and very enjoyable to listen to, so to me, that makes this album great! And that's from a Classical virgin! Despite there being different 'tracks,' I feel it's best to listen to this as a whole (if you can), but the individual pieces are great too!
    Loses one star as, and this might be silly, but to me, the massive dynamic range here (something no doubt atypical of Classical music) is so great, it's hard to find a correct volume without scaring your neighbors or giving yourself a heart attack while driving the car! The low volume sections are sometimes barely audible, whereas when the orchestra 'booms' it's deafening. Probably not the CD's fault, but something I found a little problematic.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 February 2024

    Both symphonies are long held favourites of mine, being representative of Beethoven at the height of his powers. Knowing that this recording has long been the primary recommendation, I treated myself to it. The moving slow movement of the Seventh is particularly impressive to the extent that I almost convinced myself I was hearing it for the first time. A great buy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very famous recording
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 September 2023
    Verified Purchase
    In the era of CDs, this compilation became one of the most acclaimed recordings of Beethoven's most famous symphony, to a certain extent following in the footsteps of the rave review back in the mid-1970's. This "Fate"/"Schicksal" is red-hot in intensity and surgical in precision. The No. 7 beautifully complements the No. 5 as a coupling on the CD, making this a very concise, much-comprising statement of Beethoven spirit. This may be a good start when you would like your children or students to become interested in classical music. And although many versions do not fall behind this one, you can't go wrong here.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This must be the greatest ever performance of Beethoven 5
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 September 2020
    Verified Purchase
    The late great Carlos Kleiber could see into Beethoven's mind in a way that no other conductor has been able to do. From the first bars, his interpretation showed a completely new understanding. But the real question must be why Carlos could see into this music in a way that not even his late dad Erich was able to do. Personally, I suspect that Kleiber fils started where Erich left off.
    But why were our totemic leaders (like Karajan, Böhm, Furtwängler, Haitink, Jochum, Maazel and Wand) not able to penetrate what we all thought was a fairly simple score? Another similar barrier might help answer this question. Look at Beethoven's Missa Solemnis and we find a similar story. The only conductor to get under the skin of this work was a non-typically Beethoven conductor, Nikolaus Harnoncourt who miraculously achieved the deep insight that was missing. (But sadly he died just afterwards).
    The truth probably is that the scores of the great works never really reveal what the composer was after. No wonder then that conductors who think that their job is to interpret the score miss the possibility of playing what the composer intended, not what he wrote.
    What would Carlos have gone on to achieve had he not died young (that is young for a conductor, who tend to live long lives)?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not "just" another copy of the Seventh
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 January 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Unlike I suspect many people I bought this to get a good copy of the Seventh, not the Fifth. However, this rapidly became my usual listening copy of the Fifth as well.

    Technically the CD is of excellent quality, limited of course by the age of the recording. There are some little noises and scratchs, the "studio cat" chasing mice under the sound floor. These don't detract though, there is very little hiss, the music is clear and easy to listen to.

    In terms of artistic merit though, Kleiber extracts the very best and then just gives more. Interpretation of any music is always subjective - is my 1930's mono copy of Toscanini better than a 1970's stereo rendition of the same work by Kleiber, or a modern one by Rattle? Different times, different eras - the best I can say is that this is what I reach for when I want either the fifth or seventh, and I have never regretted doing so. Kleiber brings life and vivacity to the music. In particular the third movement of the seventh (once uncharitable described as being like a lot of jumping yaks!) has taken on new life beyond my previous recollections on both vinyl and watching live. I doubt that many people will be disappointed with this CD. Technically I would only rate it as four stars if a modern recording, but considering it's age I would overlook that - one must work with what masters you have and hence give it five.
