Beethoven: Symphonien Nos. 5 & 7

Beethoven: Symphony in Cm No5, Op67; Symphony in A No7, Op92

Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra; Kleiber

In the pantheon of great Beethoven recordings this stands alone as arguably the most exciting version of the Fifth Symphony ever recorded. Accompanied by an equally electrifying Seventh this is Carlos Kleiber's greatest achievements. These interpretations are highly unlikely to ever be surpassed.

"It is wonderful to have these two legendary performances... placed together on one disc for the first time."
Gramophone

"This is one of those legendary recordings that everyone knows about, but which quite takes the breath every time it's played. Kleiber paces the work magnificently and draws from the great VPO playing of an unparalleled intensity and beauty."
Gramophone

"If ever there was a legendary recording, it is Carlos Kleiber's version of the Fifth from the mid-1970s. In Kleiber's hands the first movement is electrifying but still has a hushed intensity. The slow movement is tender and delicate, with dynamic contrasts underlined but not exaggerated."
