Several recordings in this vinyl box set date from 1960, when Otto Klemperer celebrated his 75th birthday and Wieland Wagner, the composer's grandson, hailed the conductor as "a unique artistic phenomenon." Klemperer’s mastery of Wagner’s music was rooted in the early years of his career: by the age of 30 he had conducted performances of Lohengrin, Der fliegende Holländer, Tannhäuser, Der Ring des Nibelungen, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Parsifal and Tristan und Isolde. “The performances on these discs are all masterfully played and recorded. Klemperer is a great Wagner conductor, if not the greatest in the world.” GramophoneThe German-born conductor Otto Klemperer, a towering figure in 20th-century musical history, died aged 88 on 8 July 1973. 2023 will thus mark the 50th anniversary of his death. His complete recordings on the Warner Classics catalogue are being made available for the first time in 2 enormous separate box sets; the first volume with the Symphonic Works, Concertos & Lieder (95CDs) will be released in June 2023. All recordings are remastered in HD 192/24 from original sources.
