## Description

20th July 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the death of the German conductor Joseph Keilberth. His name is perhaps not  so widely remembered as some of his contemporaries, but he was an important figure in the musical life of Germany in the  mid-20th century and has sometimes been described as the true successor to Wilhelm Furtwängler.

    Fantastic Value
  

*by P***B on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 26 August 2021*

22 cd's of glorious playing and artistry from Keilberth. Most of the recordings are stereo and only a very few early stereos fall short of good sonic reproduction. I have not gone through all the cd's yet but so far the highlights of Keilberth's recordings are the Mozart Symphonies. These are played in a very delicate ,sensitive manner. I was very surprised how classical and  modern they sounded. They could easily stand up to other similar comparisons such as Bohm or Colin Davies. The Dvorak Slavonic Dances also impressed me. Not as exciting as Szell or Kubelik but still the swagger and fast tempos did give me a sense of excitement . The same can be said for the Johann Strauss II disc. So far the best buy of the year recommended.

This set ought to be five stars, because this is music making of the highest quality, much of which has passed under our radar. Keilberth was an extremely able conductor, who transcends the rather uniform blandness and efficiency of some of his contemporaries. For a taste of how good he can be one might sample the Dvorak Slavonic Dances, which are wonderfully characterised. The problem is that some of the material has had to be transferred from scratch. This is a good thing, of course, but not when the company doing it is incompetent. These are terrible transfers. One of the worst victims is the historically crucial stereo recording of Schubert VI, dated 1954, and so one of the earliest stereo recordings. It's fine when the music's loud, but as soon as it gets quiet you hear the annoying effects of denoising or whatever process has been so heavily applied. It's hard to comprehend how the French company could make such a mess or be allowed to get away with it. But so it is. Other recent Warner releases have set high standards for new digital mastering, so it's baffling that this has gone so badly wrong. Only four or so discs are affected. The rest are fine, so this is still a bargain, but some of  the really interesting stuff has been spoilt and is, to my ears at least, unlistenable to.

    Maestro Keilberth makes music....
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 10 December 2019*

This is perhaps the finest set of recordings in the EMI/Warner "Icons" series. Just one listen to Keilberth and a vintage Berlin Philharmonic delivering a granite-hewn Bruckner Sixth of epic proportions is more than enough to convince any listener that Keilberth was indeed one of the GREAT conductors. His Beethoven is truly magnificent - and I mean magnificent! And the early stereo recording of Schubert's Sixth Symphony is very fine indeed. The previous reviewer is exaggerating the imagined deleterious effects of what he refers to as  "denoising"... it's a1954 recording, for heaven's sake and the performance is truly outstanding - absolutely superb. And the same goes for just about every recording in this box-set. Keilberth serves the music well, and this set of recordings ought to prove both educational and revelatory.
