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 2: Der Freischütz – How and why did Carlos Kleiber suddenly leap to world fame when Deutsche Grammophon issued his first ever recording, in 1973, conducting Weber’s Der Freischütz? When, in 1955, Erich Kleiber had made a classic recording of Der Freischütz, he was the latest in a long heritage of great German conductors who have stood close to the work. Ever since its triumphant first performance in Berlin in 1821, it has had a unique appeal, often being the first opera on which young conductors cut their teeth and remaining a work to which great artists are happy to return in later years. At the time of his father’s recording, Carlos Kleiber was just beginning his musical career in Berlin; when, in 1973, he made his first venture into the recording studio, it was with Der Freischütz. The scrupulousness in preparation that has marked his entire career delayed this step until he was 43; for Freischütz he went back to the score and restudied the instrumental instructions in Weber’s beautifully lucid manuscript.
