Otto KlempererAbout
“One of the glories of recording history” was how this Fidelio was hailed on its initial release in 1962. The intervening years have repeatedly affirmed its towering status.
Otto Klemperer’s readings of Beethoven are proverbial for their grandeur and humanity, while the Leonore of Christa Ludwig and Florestan of Jon Vickers remain unsurpassed.
