Composer:
Anton Bruckner

Conductor:
Otto Klemperer

Background: Otto Klemperer’s long and distinguished career started in Berlin in 1906 and continued in provincial German opera houses until he returned to Berlin in 1927, first at the Kroll Opera and then at the Staatsoper. A period with the Los Angeles Philharmonic (1933-9) was followed by serious illness.

Back in Europe, he went to the Budapest Opera (1947-50) before returning to North America and a post with the Montreal Symphony (1950-53). In 1954, aged 69, Klemperer accepted a long-term contract to record with Walter Legge’s Philharmonia Orchestra. The results of the partnership, which ended only with the conductor’s death in 1973, are now part of recording history.

Two examples of their collaboration are these classic accounts of Bruckner’s ‘Romantic’ Symphony and the original version of Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll.
