Join music conductor Wojciech Milewski for our first Music Chat of Season 23 as we explore the life, work and genius of Carlos Kleiber, often revered by conductors as the ultimate “great conductor.” What does that mean? Why do they feel that way? Famously, his rehearsal footage of “Der Freischutz” has been in and of itself a masterpiece, and a benchmark for all conductors. So, why is that? Let’s learn more about the genius and his work.

The S.O. Podcast features recordings from our live Music Chat series, recorded each month at the Dorchester County Library at Ashley River. Because these episodes are recorded live, you may hear occasional audience noise, pauses or technical moments that don’t translate quite the same way in a podcast. Thanks for joining us from wherever you’re listening!

For the German to English translation of the Kleiber interview, watch it on Youtube with translation subtitles enabled: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qydEss4m20
