In Reply to: RE: Those Kleiber Beethoven 5/7 recordings. . . posted by Chris from Lafayette on May 13, 2012 at 12:36:26
One wonders how a company can put out such junk. Where do they find the deaf engineers and deaf producers? I prefer minimal microphone stereo recordings, but there are many labels that use multiple microphones that preserve a sense of depth. The Kleiber Beethoven had zero depth. It was as flat as a cartoon character that's been run over by a steam roller.
After listening to this recording I put DG on my "do not buy list" and haven't purchased another of their recordings for over 15 months.

Maybe if the recordings were better, people would realize that.............
Admittedly, they were always poor recordings but they are among the great recorded performances and I'd rather hear these than the majority of "follow the dots" Beethoven symphony recordings.

It pretty sad. It wouldn't matter if the artist and performance hadn't been so good. Any kid out of school using a $500 portable field recorder could have produced better sound than this travesty.
