Background: This Cologne performance from June 1955 was Klemperer's first public performance in concert of the work for 22 years (or since 1933) and it catches the conductor at a very high point in his career. It is one of the most dramatic performances on record and persuaded Walter Legge at EMI to try and set up a recording soon afterwards but this came to nothing due to the costs.

As with all the Klemperer broadcasts from the WDR, it has been transferred from the original master tapes and sounds superb with all the intensity of a live occasion (particularly the wonderful choral singing) caught to perfection.
