Klaus Tennstedt's studio recordings for EMI Classics, primarily with his cherished London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO), are celebrated as a towering achievement, cementing his reputation as one of the great conductors of the late 20th century. His landmark studio cycle of Mahler's Symphonies is the monumental centerpiece of this legacy, alongside the live Mahler recordings he did. Tennstedt's Mahler is universally praised for it's sheer emotional commitment and deep feeling. This cycle, often cited for it's thrilling climaxes and masterful shaping of Mahler's vast canvases, is universally recognized as one of the finest surveys of the composer's symphonies. Tennstedt's interpretations of the Central European repertoire, which also included magnificent recordings of Brahms and Wagner included in this box, favour an unfailingly beautiful orchestral tone and a massive solidity. These recordings are a lasting testament to Tennstedt's profound artistry and his extraordinary musical partnership with the LPO (which represent two-thirds of the recordings in this box).
