Mozart, Symphony No.36 in C major, K. 425 "Linz"

Synopsis

Elusive, eccentric, willful, capricious… These are some of the milder words used to describe Carlos Kleiber, the man widely considered "the most venerated conductor since Arturo Toscanini" (The New York Times). Born in Berlin but raised in Argentina, Kleiber made his conducting debut in Potsdam in 1954. He has been freelancing for many years now, conducting infrequently but at the world's leading venues and with the world's leading ensembles. Thanks to Kleiber's legendary reluctance to produce recordings, each of his recordings is an event, a classic. He can allow himself the luxury of choosing his own repertoire and performers. The results can perhaps be best illustrated with the image of "an expert art restorer who clears away centuries of grime to reveal a painting in its pristine glory. Kleiber… strips away the varnish from some of music's most tradition- encrusted masterworks to expose the vital creation lurking beneath." (TIME)
