Otto Klemperer literally embodied a vast amount of 20th-century musical history, wrote the New York Times. "There remains a tension, and a sense of architectural command, to his finest recordings that takes the listener to the heart of the music." These 95 CDs, focusing primarily on symphonic repertoire, precede a collection of operas and sacred works. Together, the two boxes form Otto Klemperer: The Warner Classics Remastered Edition: the German-born conductor's entire Warner Classics catalogue - originally recorded for EMI Columbia, HMV, Electrola and Parlophone - newly remastered in high definition from the original tapes (LPs) and the best available sources (78s).
