(digital restoration) Beethoven Symphony No.7 - Carlos Kleiber, Tokyo 1986

Details

Description

What im about to say might be subjective, but Maestro Kleiber remain to me as the G.O.A.T of conducting and this performance of the 7th in particular is literally just perfect in every aspect, quite probably second to none.
I have watched this performance on DVD dozens of times over the years and still got amazed every single time.
You can see that the production team did one hell of a good job in capturing Kleiber's moment and seeing this guy conducting is just pure joy-inducing.
The restoration process took quite some times (plus a roasted rig) involving lots of denoising and FPS conversion (upscale).
