Notes & Reviews:
In addition to his highly popular Beethoven recordings, Klemperer delved deeper into other romantic symphonies. This 10-CD set features all four symphonies and three Overtures by Schumann, the last three symphonies by Tchaikovsky, Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique, and Dvorak's From the New World. In addition to symphonies from Bruckner, Brahms, and Mahler, the collection also includes three by Schubert, two by Mendelssohn as well as the Hebrides Overture and Midsummer Night's Dream Incidental music
Gramophone on Berlioz: Symphony Fantastique
...[A] great conductor in the full ripeness of his powers... Klemperer's sombre, portentous opening leads down into a dark experience, the idee fixe introducing a movement of grimness and incipient despair. His rubato is deliberate, charged with a menacing quality... Klemperer is at his greatest in the 'Scene aux champs', where he enters a brooding landscape... [W]ell worth hearing, or perhaps rehearing, since [it] will long have found a place in many collectors' affections.
