Brahms: The Complete Symphonies - Overtures - Haydn Variations - Violin Concerto - Deutsches Requiem - Alto Rhapsody - KLEMPERER (6 CDs)

Klemperer and Brahms had much in common, which may go some way to explaining the empathy with which Klemperer conducts the works of the great composer. As Richard Osborne says in the accompanying liner notes: 'no detail was insignificant, yet none was allowed to subvert the larger whole'. The recordings in this box have all been remastered in HD from original tapes for the Otto Klemperer Complete Edition in 2023.
