¡Richard Itter Collection - Otto Klemperer
¡Otto Klemperer (conductor)
Description
[Machine Translation] In 1939, in his mid-50s, Klemperer fell ill, and for a time it was thought that he would never be able to regenerate as a conductor, but after World War II he made a full recovery, conducting orchestras around the world and increasing his fame. After World War II, however, he fully returned to conduct orchestras around the world and rose to fame. It is well known that his guest appearances in London were so well received that Walter Legg, who heard them, signed him to a contract in 1952 (just when he was looking for Karajan's successor). Since then, the relationship between Klemperer and the Philharmonia Orchestra has been good, and many great recordings have been made, but this recording was not released by EMI. The recordings include Bruckner, Brahms, and other works performed with Klemperer's typical rigor. Also soloing in the Mozart concerto is Bronislaw Gimpel. Gimpel was one of Klemperer's favorite violinists, and he was so highly regarded that Klemperer, then conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, hired Gimpel as concertmaster from 1937 to 1942. This is also a valuable record. Recorded in 1955 and 1956 at Royal Festival Hall and BBC Studios.
