We had a discussion of our favorite classical conductors a couple weeks ago. Among the conductors I sang the praises of was Ben Zander. Well I thought I would pass on that in Ben Zander's opinion the greatest "living" conductor is Carlos Kleiber.
The two "New Year's in Vienna" discs (Strauss Waltzes and Polkas) on Sony are examples of how Kleiber can take the commonplace and elevate it several levels. And they're well recorded to boot.
