The German-born conductor Otto Klemperer, a towering figure in the musical history of the 20th century, died at the age of 88 on July 8th 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. All recordings are remastered in HD 192/24 from original sources.
Among the rich legacy of Otto Klemperer, the Mahler recordings take pride of place, perhaps because the composer took Klemperer as his disciple during his early years. We can of course mention the Resurrection and the legendary Lied von der Erde with Ludwig and Wunderlich, but also two symphonies recorded with the New Philharmonia in 1967-1968. The Seventh is one of the most controversial of the discography because of its extremely slow tempo choices. As for the Ninth, don’t miss its supreme final movement, which has rarely been as harrowing as in Klemperer’s famous rendition.
