About the conductor Otto Klemperer

Otto Klemperer

Otto Klemperer (1885-1973) was born in Breslau and studied in Berlin making his conducting debut in 1906. He met Mahler and through him obtained an appointment at the German Opera in Prague in 1907. Through Mahler’s help he had a succession of positions, notably in Cologne (1917-24) coupled with frequent guest conducting. In 1927 he was director of the Kroll Opera in Berlin (1927-1931). With the rise of the Nazis he left Berlin and fled to Austria, then Switzerland followed by Los Angeles (1933-1939) where he conducted all the main US orchestras. After the war, he returned to Europe coming to London in 1947. He settled in Zurich and in the mid-1950s gave a large number of superb concerts with the Kölner Rundfunk-Sinfonie-Orchester, his old orchestra, a period when Klemperer emerged as one of the truly great conductors of his generation along side Erich Kleiber, Bruno Walter and Wilhelm Furtwängler. It was at this time Walter Legge appointed him to be principal conductor of the Philharmonia Orchestra in 1959, where he remained until 1971.
