	Otto Klemperer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Otto Klemperer (May 14, 1885 – July 6, 1973) was a German-born conductor and composer.
		Klemperer went on to hold a number of posts, including conductorships in Hamburg (1910 – 1912); in Barmen (1912 – 1913); the Strasbourg Opera (1914 – 1917); the Cologne Opera (1917 – 1924); and the State Opera in Wiesbaden (1924 – 1927).

	Otto Klemperer - Behind every great conductor
		Lotte was the only daughter of Otto Klemperer, the conductor who, more than any other, made Berlin a byword for musical modernism in the 1920s and London a benchmark for orchestral excellence in the 1960s.
		Klemperer suffered from a severe form of cyclothymic illness which, in manic phases, provoked arrest and disgrace, and in depressive mood, brought him close to self-destruction.
		Klemperer balked at travelling 3,000 miles for a single gig, but Lotte and the agent fell "half in love" and she persuaded her father to take the date.

	St. Matthew Passion by Otto Klemperer at jsbach.org
		Klemperer's way with Bach is unique - bringing supreme understanding to "one of the peaks of Western civilisation" (Britten) and "the noblest sacred work in existence" (Elgar).
		The best example of a power chorus (which is tailor-made for Klemperer) is the chorus "Sind blitze, sind Donner", somewhat reminiscent of a football defensive lineman with a straight shot on a quarterback.
		Klemperer lacks the dramatic clarity of Britten and Gustav Leonhardt, but the emotion with which he approached the contrasting sorrow and rejoicing at the Crucifixion is admirable.

	Otto Klemperer
		Klemperer's Jewish origins naturally made him something of an undesirable, though, as the 1930's progressed, and he was ultimately forced to flee Berlin for the U.S., Eastern Europe, and eventually London.
		The centerpiece of Klemperer's EMI legacy is a stereo set of Beethoven symphonies recorded in he 1960's.
		Klemperer was one of several important disciples of Gustav Mahler, and his recordings of Bruckner and Mahler symphonies may rank among the most important in his discography.

		Otto Klemperer seems an unlikely interpreter of Stravinsky's colorful scores, but he was a noted modernist in his younger days.
		Klemperer had a long association with the Stravinsky (he was a champion of the composer during the thirties, when he was thought of more as a French composer.) But Klemperer approaches the music in a different way than Stravinsky or most anyone else.
		Klemperer was no longer capable of preserving his ideas as well as he could have just a few years earlier, but he was still able to show that there are possibilities in this music that go beyond this standard Stravinsky performance.

	INKPOT#65 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: MAHLER Symphony No.2 "Resurrection". Baker/Harper/Bavarian RSO/Klemperer (EMI)
		Klemperer's tempi were known to have become slower, to the point of being lugubrious.
		Klemperer's view of the movement is perhaps that of a fantasy in a nightmare of a funeral - not as dramatic, perhaps, as Scherchen, but still very well-shaped.
		Klemperer is very impetuous in this entire last passage, and I had the impression of being swept away by the music.

	BEETHOVEN: Symphony No.9 Klemperer: Classical CD Reviews-June 2000 Music on the Web(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Klemperer's emphasising of orchestral sonority - such as biting trombones in the last movement and exciting timpani thwacks throughout - makes for invigorating listening.
		And Klemperer's deliberate tempo for the Scherzo and his observation of its long second repeat makes this movement almost as long as the first, emphasising the symphony's scale.
		This relationship of pulse - a moderate scherzo and flowing Adagio for example - throws a gigantic through-line over the four movements which is maintained in a buoyant reading of the choral finale that comes to life on, and is sustained by, one breath.

	Matthaus-Passion BWV 244 - conducted by Otto Klemperer
		The achievements of Klemperer, Mengelberg, and Mendelssohn are certainly not to be dismissed.
		Klemperer's SMP was recorded on 15 different days from November 1960 to November 1961, in two or three different locations...and then Peter Pears and the continuo players got together later and redid some of the recitatives without Klemperer's knowledge or participation.
		Klemperer is the teacher of my youth but this performance is a sleeper and I do use the term in its literal sense.

		Yet nothing ever seemed too immense for Otto Klemperer, whose New Philharmonia recording is now available in EMI’s mid-priced " Great Recordings of the Century " series.
		Klemperer’s view of the Missa solemnis is monumental and devotional but never sentimental.
		He pays scrupulous attention to Beethoven’s dynamic markings and perfectly judges most tempos, so that the Latin text on which Beethoven lavished such care is always fully audible, even during the thunderous fanfares of the Gloria, or the dense Et vitam venturi fugue that closes the Credo.

	Otto Klemperer Bio
		After 1918 Klemperer rapidly emerged as one of the leading German conductors of his generation (in 1923 he declined an appointment as musical director of the Berlin Staatsoper, where he felt he would have had insufficient artistic independence).
		Klemperer's performances were notable above all for their heroic dimensions and his architectural grasp.
		Klemperer studied composition with Schoenberg in the mid-1930s in Los Angeles and was a prolific if spasmodic composer.

	BEATING TIME
		Her influence on both Otto and this play is indisputable.
		It was as much the stubbornness of Lotte in her attempts to silence me as it was the human catastrophes of Otto that inspired me to persevere with this play.
		After falling back into the orchestra pit the long arms and legs of Herr Klemperer gave him the appearance of a hugh, fl spider as he struggled to regain his position on the podium.

		Otto Klemperer made just one commercial recording of Mahler's Fourth Symphony, in April 1961 at Kingsway Hall, London.
		Klemperer could claim a special authority in Mahler's music, since as a young aspiring musician he had come into contact with the great composer and conductor.
		For the rest of his long career Klemperer championed Mahler's music at a time when it was much less well-known than it is now, bringing out particular qualities of strength and nobility in it to great effect.

		Klemperer’s traversal of the Brahms symphonies is one of the greatest such cycles ever set down on tape.
		All four symphonies show off Klemperer’s ability to shape a work with absolute solidity but make it move and sing as well.
		And then there’s the famously "granite-like" sonority (with divided violins) of the Philharmonia under his baton, a sound that commanded attention for its own sake but also set off its glorious soloists in high relief.

		Otto Klemperer was a taciturn manic-depressive giant (6 ft. 6 in.) who lived from the age of Mahelr to the age when men landed on the moon.
		At his first few London concerts Klemperer proved a hit, and until he died twenty years later in 1973 he was almost constantly in the studio making one classic recording after another.
		Klemperer's deliberate tempos are nothing like any other Stravinsky you've ever heard, but the reading isn't sluggish at all--it's delicate and eerily wonderful.
