Browse: The Klemperer Legacy (series)

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Otto Klemperer‘s death, EMI Classics
pays tribute to the incomparable conductor with the release of an extensive
edition of 11 luxurious yet affordably-priced boxsets. After the very encouraging
results from the initial releases, the January batch will see some absolute classics
of the Klemperer catalogue (Brahms), some very rare recordings in the Mozart box
- some of them finding here their CD premiere. With his strong will and
uncompromising vision, Otto Klemperer was famously hard to please with regard
to soloists, but he was nevertheless a fine accompanist who made some superb
concerto recordings. This set brings together some of Klemperer’s legendary
collaborations with great artists, including a beautiful account of the Mozart Horn
Concertos with Alan Civil, powerful renditions of Liszt and Schumann concertos
with Klemperer’s admired colleague Annie Fischer, and the illuminating Beethoven
cycle with the inimitable Daniel Barenboim.
