Carlos Kleiber is, for most musicians, the most eloquent and astounding
conductor of our time. He is a remarkable human being, gifted at levels
and in ways that are little-known to the general public. Those who have
had the privilege of knowing him seem universally to confirm this.
Other list members will, I'm sure, contribute a list of his CDs, public
and private. Here's what exists of Kleiber on video.
