It has become utterly impossible to keep track of all recordings of Beethoven's music. For nearly a century the most famous conductors most proficient orchestras have entrusted their individual insights into this inexhaustible subject to a medium which exists first and foremost to capture transience, but which somehow has also become a yardstick of vitality, endurance and the exceptional. So who would predict that anything new could possible be added to what has so often been done, and done well? Thus we might have reasoned in the mid-1970s, but then the seemingly impossible came to pass. When Carlos Kleiber's recording of Beethoven's Fifth was issued in 1975, and the Seventh the next year, the great clock of Beethovenian interpretation resoundingly struck the hour. Milestones were planted: in these recordings, Carlos Kleiber and the Vienna Phitharmonic Orchestra unite the inspiration of a live, concert performance with the painstaking, detailed accuracy that can be achieved only in the studio, as if contradiction between the two was unheard-of. The crities responded with superlatives:
"Kleiber's reading (of the Fifth) has an electricity, a sense of urgency and fresh discovery which puts it in a class of its own."
