Description: | Mahler was important in the life of Otto Klemperer, who treasured a letter written by the great Austrian composer. Recommending the young Klemperer as ??an outstanding musician [?] predestined for the career of a conductor,? it helped him on his way. In time, Klemperer became a ??grand old man?? of conducting. Shortly after his death in 1973, the New York Times wrote: ??? At the head of his Philharmonia Orchestra, [Klemperer] was known as a rock of integrity and moral authority ? His measured tempos and inspired literalness, his iron insistence on correct performance, brought new meanings to his readings of Beethoven, Mahler and others ? He had a wonderful sense of orchestral balance, and tried with all his power to communicate the central essence of the music.?
This 7CD Budget Box contains Mahler??s Symphonies No 2, 4, 7 and 9, Das Lied von der Erde and selections from the Rückert-Lieder and Des Knaben Wunderhorn. Among the vocal soloists are Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Christa Ludwig and Fritz Wunderlich. The recordings, made between 1961 and 1968, were all remastered in 2023.
