Mesmerised by Carlos Kleiber #6/6 | The Man Around The Music

MESMERISED BY CARLOS
PERSONAL MEMOIRS OF THE EXCEPTIONAL IMPACT THAT CARLOS KLEIBER MADE ON MUSICIANS AND AUDIENCES
A VIDEO PODCAST SERIES BY JON TOLANSKY
Podcast 6: The Man Around The Music - Carlos Kleiber’s life and art and the power he exerted over his audiences and the musicians who worked with him could be called a personal Attic tragedy. Kleiber was endowed with extremes of Dionysian passion, imagination and improvisation on the one hand, and, on the other, Apollonian rigour, meticulousness and intellect. The triumphant resolution of his conflicting talents and feelings yielded performances at inspired levels of artistry and technique that became legendary in his lifetime.

Carlos Kleiber…Eternal Enigma!

[@gabriellee4835]

The greatest conductor, not the one of the greatest. The real master, the master of the masters.

[@susanneepple4730]

Sincerest thanks for this rare insight into the universe of Carlos Kleiber!

[@CityOperaVancouver]

I am so glad that DGG gave Jon Tolansky a long-form opportunity to examine at greater length Carlos' rare character and innovation. I believe almost everyone who got to know him came to realize that he was singular. Alone. Unique. CK was no mere arsonist, but he ignited the world around him. This was a fantastic musiker, and no less so a man. C

Thank you, Terri Morton for this set of six videos about Carlos, especially Part 6, which sheds quite a bit of light on Carlos's personality.

Best!

Charles Barber's book "Conversations with Carlos" is a must have for anyone interested in CK. Not cheap but worth twice the price

[@jorgekratsman3576]

I have bought the Wonderful Book and like you say is absolutely worth the price and the comprehension of such a wonderful human being!

[@JSinval]

Do you mean ""Corresponding with Carlos", right?

[@jorgekratsman3576]

@@JSinval yes!!

@@JSinval Yes! You can usually find it on Ebay or maybe Amazon.

[@constantijnblondel7672]

I'm currently reading it and can't recommend it highly enough.

Sin duda los testimonios de primera mano enriquecen muchísimo esta serie de videos dedicados a arrojar luz sobre el legado de Carlos Kleiber. Yo sólo tengo los discos de su grabación de Tristan und Isolde: fue como conocí esa obra, antes de tener la experiencia en vivo y en dvd's.
He leído que en Tristan und Isolde se encuentra el manantial de la música moderna: muy bien servido por Carlos Kleiber.

[@eggshellskullrule7971]

If I listen to Kleiber’s most carefully, his musical accent is everywhere such that it’s unmistakably Kleiber’s.

[@Cherubini47]

I love Carlos Kleiber, and adore his performances, gestures in his conducting, his amazing body language to get the perfect expressions of the the score, but there is one thing that I cannot forgive him for not doing, and that is the performance and recording of Beethoven's 9th. symphony, it's a great loss that he was the only responsible for it, no matter what his personal reasons for it, but I think that all his fans and admirers are feeling the same oppressed rage about it.

[@ttrons2]

I never pay attention to the critics. They are nothing more than complainers. They search for something to complain about. I think they all imagine themselves as the people they are criticizing. Vicarious dreamers.

[@PaulJones-oj4kr]

I think Kleiber dwelled in a world that most people could barely imagine. He did not allow entry into that world, save the precious handful, if that. He also dealt with profound issues around his relationship with Erich, his father, who never encouraged Carlos' career, let alone his genius that his father could never live up to. Hence, the father's undending, damning, criticism, leaving the son holding the bag filled with feelings of never being good enough. Do we invite friendship from people we have no common ground with? No. Accordingly, why expect someone of the stature of Kleiber to be any different?
