Carlos Kleiber The Blue Danube

Kleiber seems to dance with the orchestra. The graceful frenzy of the waltz, its rhythms and its melodies, completely own him. His movements are molded on the profiles, now sinuous, now effervescent, of the music, in strict communion with them, inhabiting them in an almost physical way without ceasing to communicate all their nuances. And not only that. Kleiber often uses the baton as a brush, as if he were drawing in the air those same environments and landscapes - the Beautiful Blue Danube, the Viennese Forest ... - that the Strauss family so masterfully evoked in his pieces.
