More by:

Composer:
Anton Bruckner

Conductor:
Otto Klemperer

Background: Otto Klemperer was one of the most celebrated Bruckner conductors of the 20th Century and recorded in the studio all the symphonies except for No.1-No.3. The Bavarian Radio live concert performance from the Herkulessaal in Munich in 1956 has not been available before and was recorded 4 years before Klemperer made a commercial studio version in 1960. It came at a time of the conductor's 'rebirth' as a major force in classical music which Medici has been documenting with some of the great performances he gave in Cologne. This is an important and rare release for any collector.

Equally the rare broadcast of a concert featuring Wagner's Prelude to Act 1 of Die Meistersinger given in Turin by the RAI in 1956 is of major importance to collectors. This has only appeared on LP and represents Klemperer's occasional appearances in Italy.
