By now a converted and rusted on Kleiberphile I'm continuing to enjoy everything from this conductor available in the public domain, I just can't get enough of this daunting conductor. Yes he was 'lost to the world' in so many ways -

David Zinman's Beethoven symphony cycle. This is quickly becoming my favorite cycle of the half dozen or so I own, which include Szell, Wand, Bernstein NYPO, Monteux, Hanover Band, Ferencsik, and Leibowitz."Life is too short to spend it wandering in the barren Sahara of musical trash."
--Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff

I clicked on this news item and was entranced by the performance. It turned out to be Bernstein and the Vienna Phil. His version with the New York Phil is my favourite and this sounds even better.
I looked it up on Amazon and was confronted with a 22 euro offer.
I scrolled down a bit more and got it for 24 cents!
I'm not really complaining but it's a bit sad that Beethoven's 7th symphony could be classed as cheap music.

I was in the mood for the Archduke, which I had not listened to in quite some time. The first several renditions I sampled at YouTube didn't do it for me, nice as a couple of them were. Then I found this interpretation by the Castle Trio on period instruments. I like it so well I immediately ordered what I hope is the same recording on CD off Amazon. I also pre-ordered the soon-to-be-released volume two of an ongoing Beethoven violin sonata series by Susanna Otaga and Ian Watson, on period instrument, whose volume one contains this performance of the Kreutzer.

The wind instruments really sound like the wind and sea!!!!
I can't believe I never found this before.
I made a collage of the Cave a few months ago. I sent it to a friend ( in exchange for an artwork of hers).
