Klemperer, Wagner, The Philharmonia Orchestra - Klemperer Conducts Wagner
Review by Erin Casali
Klemperer Conducts Wagner is an exceptional album that showcases the brilliant work of conductor Otto Klemperer and the Philharmonia Orchestra. The album features some of Richard Wagner's most famous compositions, including Tristan and Isolde, The Flying Dutchman, and Tannhäuser.
The Philharmonia Orchestra delivers a stunning performance under Klemperer's direction, bringing out the full depth and emotion of Wagner's music. The orchestra's playing is powerful and precise, capturing the intensity of Wagner's compositions.
Klemperer's conducting is masterful, with a keen sense of timing and dynamics that bring out the best in the orchestra. His interpretation of Wagner's music is both nuanced and powerful, conveying the full range of emotions that the composer intended.
