Editorial Review:
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

For Beethoven, I feel that I can never have too many recordings of his symphonies. I own the Zinman/Tonhalle set, the Krips/LSO set, Karajan EMI/Philharmonia set, Gardiner/ORR set, and the Cluytens/Berlin Phil. set.

This is the best modern recording of Beethoven symphonies. A collectors album of the highest quality.

Rating: - The Best 5 & 7 Beethoven's Symphonies
Carlos Kleiber is known for his obsession for perfection. He made few records, but everything he recorded is in excellent quality. He has become a legend of the regency.
But this recording of Beethoven's 5 e 7 Symphonies is not only the apex of his career, but the classical and Imortal record of this works.
If you want one performance of this music, it's your choice.

Rating: - Excellent
After seeing the 5th performed at Lincoln Center, I searched for a recording of it that was rated well. Definitely an up tempo interpretaion but I really enjoy it and thank others who recommended it.
