 | Bruckner: Symphony No. 8 in C minor(Nowak edition, 1890)
London Philharmonic Orchestra, Klaus Tennstedt Bruckner’s majestic Symphony No. 8 overflows with lavish themes and rich sonorities, representing the composer at his grandest, whilst the Symphony’s occasional title
‘Apocalyptic’ alludes to an underlying tone of solemnity.
This strong and idiomatic reading comes from a live-to-air BBC recording dating from October 1981. This is very early days in the Orchestra’s long association with Tennstedt.
In true Tennstedt fashion, the sheer beauty of the sound and opulence of the textures are awe-inspiring in this
triumphant interpretation. Recorded live at the Royal Festival Hall, London, on 29 October 1981 ‘Tennstedt is one of the few great conductors of the day … the stark power of the performance is almost overwhelming’ Financial Times, 1989 |

 | Otto Klemperer
Kölner Rundfunk-Sinfonie-Orchester, Otto Klemperer Recording: Saal 1, Funkhaus, WDR Cologne, 7 June 1957 “The qualities for which we prize [Klemperer] the most – firm grasp of structure, amazing clarity of texture, something one can only call utter integrity, and a disregard for momentary beauty of sound – are present in this recording to the highest degree…I would recommend it as a first choice.” Michael Tanner, BBC Music Magazine “...It's particularly good to have this rugged and purposeful performance, which is notable not only for its strong sense of architecture but also for its acute awareness of the music's urgency...All of this - and it's very good indeed - is preserved in thoroughly decent 1950s radio sound. This is a disc which allows us to hear Klemperer at his finest in a work he had been conducting since the 1920s - including the London premiere in 1929, as we learn from David Patmore's notes. Strongly recommended.” Nigel Simeone, International Record Review “Unlike many a lesser conductor Klemperer knows where the real climaxes are. There is surprising tenderness in parts of the Adagio, a movement he clearly loved, and the uncut finale is cogently done.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2008 “It's impact is so direct and intense, and the sound-quality so high, that I would recommend it as a first choice, even though it is mono sound.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2008 ***** |
