Carlos Kleiber has died July 19 2004
Carlos Kleiber, renowned for both his formidable interpretations of music and
his often eccentric and reclusive nature, has died aged 74.

For the last years of his life he refused to record (indeed, hardly ever perfo
rmed) and was known to cancel at short notice. He never hired an agent, never
gave an interview, and conducted all contractual negotiations himself. It was
joked that he only conducted when his freezer was empty – though on one rare
return to the podium he was lured back by the fee of an Audi car.
But when he did work, Kleiber showed an unstinting devotion in the pursuit of
excellence. The results were some of the most powerful, emotional and insightf
ul performances of the last century.
His discography is slight, containing just a handful of symphonies, including
Beethoven and Brahms, and a tiny number of operas, including Der Rosenkavalier
and Tristan und Isolde. Yet if the question is one of quality not quantity, K
leiber’s discography is rich indeed. His recording of Beethoven’s Symphony N
o 5 with the Vienna Philharmonic, which became a legendary recording almost ov
er night, was described in Gramophone as ‘one of the most articulate and inca
ndescent Beethoven Fifths I have ever heard’. An entirely different sort of w
ork, Johann Strauss’s Die Fledermaus also attracted superlatives from its Gra
mophone reviewer, who said in 1986: ‘Ten years after its original release the
re is still no recording of Die Fledermaus that, for me, matches this one for
the compelling freshness of its conductor’s interpretation.’
Carlos Kleiber was born in 1930, an Austrian of German birth and the son of co
nductor Erich Kleiber. He held a number of appointments at various European op
era houses, including répétiteur of the Deutsche Oper am Rhein in Düsseldor
f from 1956, becoming its conductor two years later. He worked at the Zürich
Opera from 1964-66, and was first Kapellmeister at the Württembergisches Staa
tstheater in Stuttgart for three years from 1966. From 1968, for ten years, he
had a guest contract at the Staatsoper in Munich.
Career milestones included débuts with the Vienna Staatsoper in 1973 and Bayr
euth in 1974, both with Tristan und Isolde; Royal Opera House and La Scala dé
buts in 1974 with Der Rosenkavalier; and débuts with the Berlin Philharmonic
in 1982, and the New York Met in 1988. He conducted the Vienna Philharmonic Ne
w Year concerts in 1989 and 1992.
He was the first choice of the Berlin Philharmonic to succeed Herbert von Kara
jan, but turned down the offer.

如果讲背着良心的说话
祝你日后也爱他
如你未来能决不牵挂
等我心跳肯停下
陈百强------背着良心的说话
