Klemperer's Tchaikovsky 5

Otto Klemperer will not be most people's first choice in Tchaikovsky, but an exception should really be made for this performance. As noted below, the finale is more obviously "Klempererish" than what follows, but in context, it works. The sound has a bit more depth and bite than the CD allowed for. Great stuff.

A majestic performance made even better with the glorious sound of this transfer

This is a majestic performance by Klemperer and the Philharmonia Orchestra. Klemperer moves things right along but gives space for all of the nobility which this music contains. Some may quibble about tempo choices here and there, but overall this is an excellent performance. If you are tired of how quickly Mravinsky takes it and are tired with how slow (and sappily) some other play it, you will join me in finding great satisfaction in this version. Yes, the fourth movement is played at a slow, and slower, pace. But is has majesty. And given the felicities of the earlier movements, I'm willing to accept Klemperer's grandeur here. The sound quality is up to HDTT's usual standards. In a word: Excellent.
