    Klemperer in Philadelphia, 1962 - second superb volume of live recordings

    "A supreme exposition of high German romanticism without the interpretive distortions which sometimes accompany it. Alone worth the price of the set" - MusicWeb International


    As with Volume One (PASC465), sound quality is excellent throughout this second volume. I've tamed a slightly over-wide stereo image and used a light convolution reverberation derived from one of the world's foremost concert halls to bring a little extra realism to a slightly dry acoustic, whilst XR remastering has helped bring out the full warmth of the Philadlephia Orchestra's sound.

    "Rediscovered recordings recall the legacy of Otto Klemperer"
     The Philadelphia Inquirer, 20 March 2016 (excerpts)


    He stood before the Philadelphia Orchestra with the face of an anguished god, saying little with his partially paralyzed mouth, much through his hands, and more through his eyes — behind thick, sometimes askew glasses.
