I've always been partial to it.

Save for his own compositions......
Aside from being a showman on stage, his readings of the masterworks have almost always struck me as lacking in depth, nuance, and understanding of the composer......
(I have the same complaint about Carlos Kleiber, by the way.)
Love Kleiber.
I love the life he breaths into a lot of the War Horses. Especially his Schumann and Beethoven performances, just as Kleiber does in Beethoven's 5th. And, FWIW, he has, IMHO, contributed more to the music scene in America than any other conductor I'm aware of, both as a teacher/mentor, conductor, or composer. We should all be glad he passed our way.

Though not germain to the original post I lobe Bernsteins recordings of the Schuman symphonies on DGG and Carlos Kleibers Beethoven 5th and Brahms 4th I feel are two great clasical recordings

chamber version, but so gorgeous and soloists so expressive I always find myself quite moved, and I'm not one to sip wine with tears in eyes listening to records.
Which ignores some excellent performances on DG, and arguably some very good recordings as well. Including Schumann, Beethoven and Copland. I assume it is because the poster was looking for analog LP's..
forgot it is a DG.
