Beethoven: The Complete Symphonies and Piano Concertos
Hans Hotter, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

EMI Classics, 2000

Great performances
These are classic, fine performances of the Beethoven symphonic and piano concerto canon by one of the great artists of the 20th century. They are not necessarily the most passionate or electrifying of Klemperer's recorded legacy; those belong to many of the live ...
  
  











  



  
Bach: Mass in B minor
Hermann Prey, Franz Crass, ...

EMI Classics, 2005

The best I know
I knew and owned this recording when it was published in the sixties; I played it so much that the vinyl disc became unplayable... Ever since that time I was looking for a recording of the Mass in B Minor, but none of what I found could come close. This record is so ...
  
  











  



  
Missa Solemnis in D major, op.123
L.V. Beethoven, Otto Klemperer, ...

EMI Classics, 2001

vintage Beethoven perfectly performed
Beethoven was a tonal engineer who sought to channel mighty forces, and nowhere are they more powerful than in the Missa Solemnis. In this work Beethoven, the archetypical constructive composer, builds from scratch his conception of man's relation to the infinite. ...
  
  











  



  
Brahms: Violin Concerto; Mozart: Sinfonia
Johannes Brahms, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ...

EMI Classics, 2002

For this price, by it! Heck, for any price, buy it!
Yep, masterpiece sums this one up. So does "no brainer": two of the greatest compositions in the literature, played by two of the greatest fiddlists (did I just make a word up?) in history, on one cheap CD. The sound is good, though overly-reverberant and a bit fuzzy ...
  
  











  



  
Haydn: Favourite Symphonies
Franz Joseph Haydn, Otto Klemperer, ...

EMI Classics, 2008

Haydn celebrated in a very grand manner
In its haphazard neglect of classical music CDs -- no reviews, no program details -- Amazon hasn't listed what's inside the bargain three-pack of Otto Klemperer's Haydn, so here you are: Symphony No.88 in G 'Letter V'. Symphony No.90 in C. Symphony No.92 in G ...
  
  











  



  
Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde
Gustav Mahler, Otto Klemperer, ...

EMI Classics, 1999

The Most Poetic Das Lied von der Erde
Otto Klemperer was a majestic force of nature during the 50s to the 70s who offered one of the most old-fashioned, granitic interpretations of classical music. His Beethoven stands perhaps at the pantheon of the composer's greatest aural representations, and his ...
  
  











  



  
Mozart: Die Zauberflote
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Otto Klemperer, ...

EMI Classics, 2000

A glorious achievement, brimming with magic and wonder
Walter Klemperer's historic 1964 recording of Mozart's Die Zauberflöte is a genius in operatic productions. Unlike Le Nozze di Figaro or Don Giovanni, Mozart's final opera is so dramatically convoluted and ridiculous that the recitatives provide more of a source of ...
  
  











  



  
100 Best Opera Classics
Andreas Schmidt, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, ...

Emd Int'l, 2007

Amazing Value
I am so impressed by this collection that I must share my joy at getting so many beautiful arias, duets, et al in one collection. It captures many of the great operatic voices in stellar performances spanning the last 50 years. If you are enchanted by beautiful ...
  
  











  



  
Brahms: Ein deutsches Requiem [A German Requiem]
Johannes Brahms, Otto Klemperer, ...

EMI Classics, 1999

don't believe the haters
If you own ten different recordings of this, you might find something to criticize. I own two - I'm still a fairly normal person - and this is the one I prefer. (The other is by Robert Shaw - and I think the orchestra is a little less powerful on that one. I plan to ...
  
  











  



  
Sacred Classics - Messiah, Ave Maria, Pie Jesu, Zadok the Priest, L'enfance du Christ
George Frideric Handel, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

EMI Classics, 2003

A wonderful and varied compilation of Sacred Choral Works
This is a 2 CD set and is one of my favorites. While this CD contains several pieces that the general public probably hears often (Handel's Messiah, Bach's Jesu Bleibet mein freund) it also contains some not well known pieces. Of particular quality is the recording ...
  
  











  



  
EMI Great Recordings of Century - Brahms: Symphonies Nos. 1-4/Klemperer
Johannes Brahms, Philharmonia Orchestra, ...

EMI Classics, 2004

Karajan or Klemperer in Brahms?
Otto Klempeerer owes his late career in London and on EMI records to von Karajan. Since its founding in 1949, the Philharmonia Orch. was closely allied with Karajan, who built it up as his own career took off after the war. But when Furtwangler died in 1954 and his ...
  
  











  



  
The Very Best of Lucia Popp
Antonin Dvorak, Edvard Grieg, ...

EMI Classics, 2003

Lucy: The Reigning Queen of Opera
Lucia Popp is one of the best sopranos to ever grace the operatic/classical voice stage. This CD compilation shows her progression through lyric Handel to lyric and dramatic Mozart (her Der Holle Rache from Magic Flute is unrivaled) to tender art song and operetta ...
  
  











  



  
Beethoven Symphony No. 3 'Eroica'
Ludwig van Beethoven, Otto Klemperer, ...

EMI Classics, 2002

One of the truly great Eroicas
This mono performance, recorded in 1955, is not the same one which was released in the Klemperer legacy series (that was a stereo performance, recorded in 1959), but it is far better as an interpretation. The first movement is magnificent and it sounds as though it was ...
  
  











  



  
Bach: St. Matthew Passion
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Raymond Clark, ...

EMI Classics, 2001

A Sublime Acquired Taste
There's nothing at all humble me can say to the connoisseur about this composition that's not a repetition of a repetition. To the newcomer, though, some words of advice: This is rightly considered one of, if not the best, of Bach's works. To the total newbie, Bach ...
  
  











  



  
Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 "Pastoral"
Ludwig van Beethoven, Otto Klemperer, ...

EMI Classics, 2003

Klemp's Sixth: Nobody Does it Better Baby
No stranger to contraversey, Herr Klemperer creates quite a stir with this superlative rendering of Beethoven's pastoral hymn. What some technocrats find objectionable here is what ought to be admired most: Klemp's reverential "Scene by the Brook", and his iconoclastic ...
