Carlos Kleiber(3 July 1930 - 13 July 2004) is a genius. If you have not seen him conduct you have missed a lot. His imagination is without limits. Just watch the Brahms Second Symphony with VPO. I was deeply moved by his music making. What a great artist. You get the two New Years concerts he conducted with the VPO as well. These you may find seperately and they have very positive reviews. He hated recording so we are lucky we know what an amazing artist he was through these 5 dvds. All these are recorded very well in my opinion. The sound is crisp, the playing impeccable and passionate. I hope my description helps
