Two Klemperer concerts of repertoire dear to the conductors heart preserved in the best possible sound and presented here for the first time.

“Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony (1955) enjoys a degree of flexibility and a visceral impact that are quite lacking in Klemperer’s commercial recordings.”

Rob Cowan, Gramophone
