Description
Otto Klemperers energy and momentum come not from his tempos but from the way the rhythms are articulated. In the first movement and Scherzo the heroic, teeth-gritted determination are physically gripping, In this Ninth combined urgency with masterly control and spellbinding authority, and a dignity all his own. BBC Music Magazine about the Live recording
This SACD release puts into perspective both the studio and live versions of Beethovens 9th Symphony, recorded in 1957 by Otto Klemperer and the Philharmonia Orchestra. These recordings benefit for the first time of the HD remastering from original tapes made for the Klemperer Remastered Edition and the high performances of the SACD format.
