比起前一位协奏曲大师莫扎特来,贝多芬的乐队谱更具有交响性,其中的个别乐器也更为个性化,与钢琴的对应也更开阔,旷达.尤其从第三协奏曲起,贝多芬更是反过来让钢琴也参与进乐队,推动了整个音乐的交响性展开.技巧更辉煌,音响更壮丽,使得钢琴协奏曲这一音乐式样大大地浪漫化了,难怪到了他的第五协奏曲问世,音乐会听众中有人会情不自禁地欢呼它为"协奏曲中的皇帝"!似乎这"王位"命中注定是要让贝多芬来坐的.
无数的钢琴家和乐队在演奏这些曲子.全集唱片很多,好版本也不少.我以往曾向朋友推荐Philips的布伦德尔和海廷克版(LP编号 6767 002),至今珍爱不已.这回我再推荐DG的肯普夫版,在我也是一个至爱.肯普夫于DG先后两回录过这五首曲子,1953年的这个单音版本显然好过后来和莱特纳合作重录的那套.虽然是单音,音效却相当不错.更有意思的是,除了第五号"皇帝"之外,前面四首的快乐章华彩都是肯普夫重写的,这一点就和其他所有人的版本都不同了.

1996年德国巴伐利亚州因戈尔施塔特 (Ingolstadt，注：AUDI总部所在地) 音乐会
小克在1996年，为了得到一辆价值10万美元的奥迪跑车，在因戈尔施塔特(Ingolstadt. 德国巴伐利亚州的城市) 指挥巴伐利亚国家歌剧院音乐会，演出莫扎特、贝多芬、勃拉姆斯的作品。
克莱伯指挥的布拉姆斯e小调交响曲被形容成“或许是这个交响曲中最棒的录音”。他处理贝多芬的科里奥兰序曲体现了他的音乐天赋。而莫扎特的《降B大调第33交响曲》在他棒下显得格外流畅。这场由巴伐利亚国家交响乐团演奏的音乐会在克莱伯为数不多的录影中实属稀罕品!
