Deutsche Grammophon had the good fortune to be the label with which this most charismatic of conductors was associated.  Imbued with Kleiber’s characteristics of intellectual rigour, passion and perfectionism, the few recordings he did make are among the greatest treasures of the DG catalogue. In 2011, 100 members of his own profession voted Carlos Kleiber ‘the greatest conductor of all time,’ but he also remains the personification of the genius recluse — Herbert von Karajan used to joke that Kleiber would only conduct when his fridge was empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLIST:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCD1                              BEETHOVEN: Symphonies Nos. 5 \u0026amp; 7\u003cbr\u003eWiener Philharmoniker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Mercurial, thrilling accounts of two warhorses from the unique Carlos Kleiber.”  — GRAMOPHONE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCD2                              BRAHMS: Symphony No. 4\u003cbr\u003eWiener Philharmoniker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Brahms's Fourth Symphony, full of detail and with an extraordinary sense of architectural logic, has not been surpassed since.”  — THE GUARDIAN (UK)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCD3                              SCHUBERT: Symphonies Nos. 3 \u0026amp; 8 ‘Unfinished’\u003cbr\u003eWiener Philharmoniker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Schubert’s \"Unfinished\" with the Vienna Philharmonic is testimony enough to [Kleiber’s] genius … [a] benchmark performance: it has never sounded more perfectly complete.”  — INDEPENDENT (UK)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCDs4\/5                    J.
