Christa Ludwig mezzo-soprano Philharmonia Orchestra & Chorus Otto Klemperer conductor STEREO Â· RECORDED IN 1962 & 1964 By the time he made these celebrated recordings with the Philharmonia Orchestra in the early 1960s, Otto Klemperer was a grand old man of conducting. Christa Ludwig, by contrast, was in the glowing early prime of her extraordinary career, which encompassed repertoire for both mezzo-soprano and soprano. "Klemperer was marvellous for the singing," she later said, "because he did nothing against the composer." This collection shows the fruits of their collaboration in Beethoven, Wagner, Brahms and Mahler.
