Is this going to be struck from the same master as the regular DG SACD of these works? Also, I had the impression that while the Brahms 4 was an early digital recording, these were analog. Is that incorrect?
Edit: Nevermind on the second part - the readily available conventional SACD of this release - Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 5 & 7 - Kleiber, was made from a 24/96 PCM dub of the analog multichannel tapes.
Mea culpa I was thinking of the early digital Brahms 4.

I agree...all of the modern (which is hard to understand considering when Kleiber recorded these pieces) conductors have had the benefit of listening to Kleiber. It's almost impossible to compare given how "modern day" CD's, iPods, and the MP3 format have changed things, even from 1976.
I wasn't suggesting that it was peerless! I was asking what would an even better modern replacement in multi-channel with a full-sized orchestra. I like his performance, but the perspective is a bit distant for my taste.

Well, I think Haitink is on even ground interpretatively and in superior sound. If you can stomach a somewhat smaller orchestra,
Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 1 & 5 - Paavo Järvi
is VERY alive! Worth listening to, frequently, in any event

"The SHM-SACDs kills the 2003 SACD easily and by far"
Definitely. I liked the SHM-CD better than the earlier SACD. But this is the best yet, by a good margin.
