I am a Japanese old man. When I began to listen to classical music way back in1968, conducting Beethoven's symphonies was usually associated with Furtwängler's style. I could appreciate musical power, depth and dignity of his, but at the same time, his way sounded a little old-fashioned. Then one day I happened to listen to No4 on the radio. Paul Kletzki was the conductor. Instantaneously I liked him, for not only his way much more modern but also keeping the traditional style. Like René Leibowitz, Kletzki is not a famous conductor, but I am positive he is a first-rate one when it comes to Beethoven's symphonies.
