This digital-only Otto Klemperer collection—taken from a 95-disc box set from Warner Classics—contains his complete EMI repertoire. It presents a rich sampling of the German composer and conductor's interpretations of Brahms, Mendelssohn, and Schubert, but also serves to illustrate his only real shortcoming of Klemperer—his limiting his recordings, for the most part, to composers of central Europe.
That quibble notwithstanding, this is a must-have set for collectors—not just Klemperer aficionados, but anyone wishing to hear superb renditions of the masterpieces in the set by one of the 20th Century's great conductors. Although Klemperer claimed to dislike recording, you would never guess it listening to these performances; the only explanation for his paradoxical claim being that he held to the same high standards in the studio as he did in the concert hall.
Particularly enjoyable in the set is Mendelssohn's incidental music for Midsummer Night's Dream. Klemperer conducts the numbers with the requisite light and graceful touch that the music demands. Somewhat of a rarity in this recording are the vocal portions being sung in Shakespearean English.
Also outstanding is a performance of the Schumann Piano Concerto with Annie Fischer as soloist, though it suffers somewhat from its rather dull recorded sound. All the works in this set, though, are beautifully performed. Adding to the listener's enjoyment are the expert remasterings done by Warner Classics' engineers in 24-bit/192 kHz sound. © Anthony Fountain/Qobuz
