Otto KlempererAbout
The German-born conductor Otto Klemperer, a towering figure in the musical history of the 20th century, died at the age of 88 on 8 July 1973, so 2023 will mark the 50th anniversary of his death. His complete recordings on Warner Classics catalogue are being made available for the first time in 2 huge separate boxes; the first volume with the Symphonic Works, Concertos & Lieder (95 CDs) will be released in June 2023. All recordings are remastered in HD 192/24 from original sources.
One month before the release of the first box, Warner Classics are releasing on vinyl and digital HD + Dolby Atmos one of his most famous albums. The epic Symphony no.2 brought Gustav Mahler and Otto Klemperer together in 1905, when the 20-year-old conductor took charge of the off-stage band for a performance in Berlin. Mahler, impressed, subsequently recommended him for appointments in Prague and Hamburg. In this recording Klemperer rewards the composer’s faith with an interpretation of granite-like strength, drawing magnificent performances from orchestra, chorus and soloists.
