The SACD transfer takes full advantage of the new technology, offering sound of greater warmth, depth and clarity achieved by means of a wider dynamic range and frequency response than is possible with the conventional Compact Disc.
"This is the finest Fifth we have had for at least a decade. It is a glorious achievement: Vienna's answer to earlier Fifths made in London with Klemperer, and in Berlin with Karajan; and a further feather in the cap of the celebrated family Kleiber." - Gramophone, London, June 1975
"Kleiber's performance of the Seventh does at times bring us unnervingly close to the essential spirit of this great work, a rare enough phenomenon in all conscience." - HiFiNews, London, September 1976
