Notes & Reviews:
Beethoven's symphonies & overtures have always been of high interest to all types of music lovers. Beethoven struggled with deafness, constantly searching deep inside his inner being for a spark of inspiration. Klemperer, having fights for his own life, could relate to this compelling desire to express what was inside of him. This 10-CD set not only includes the complete symphonies but also all nine overtures and extracts from the Incidental music to Egmont and the ballet The Creatures of Prometheus.
ClassicsToday
Fashions in Beethoven playing have gone through several phases since these recordings first appeared. Indeed, the conductor's dark, foreboding countenance, expressive severity, and implacable pacing will seem utterly anachronistic to fans of Beethoven on period instruments. The music may take shape slowly under Klemperer's guidance, but damned if it doesn't move. Every phrase, each orchestral balance, and all transitional junctures patiently unfold, and pull you in with the force of a hidden, powerful magnet. This approach proves spellbinding for the symphonies and overtures...
