Erich Kleiber - Decca Recordings 1949-1955 (6CDs box set) 2003 APE
6 CDs | Genre: Classical | Release: 2003 | Label: Decca | EAC Rip | APE (image+cue) | 1.58 GB
This set is a great supplement to Kleibers volume in the IMG "Great Conductors" series, despite some overlap (both sets contain the same account of Mozarts 40th). And, as Michael Richman notes in his review below, Decca has already issued two of these readings from Amsterdam (the 5th & Eroica) in its "Decca Legends" series. Repertoire-wise, this set also has the redundancy of TWO recordings each of Beethovens Eroica & Pastoral symphonies. The transfers of the Amsterdam and Vienna recordings compare well with the earlier London LPs, while the Cologne Radio items are merely okay (slightly congested in comparison with the Amadeo LPs).
