To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Otto Klemperer s death, EMI Classics pays tribute
to the incomparable conductor with the release of an extensive edition of luxurious
yet affordably-priced boxsets. The first batch of three is available this November.
The collection of Bruckner Symphonies is a 6-CD set presenting 5 of Bruckner s
symphonies including the incomplete 9th symphony that was never finished due to his
death. The set presents a comprehensive survey of Klemperer s renowned conducting.
His interpretations and direction remain touchstones for the EMI catalogue, despite
having a stroke during brain surgery.
There are some other Klemperer 4ths, but not on the EMI label, and they are in mono (an old vox recording; live mono recording on Italian labels; + maybe more too).
I think that it is the same version of the 4th. Recently I bought this...
...which (I assume) is remastered version of the stand alone 4th you have pictured. According to the booklet it was recorded in September 1963. The Arkivmusic review of your boxed set has the date for the 4th Symphony contained therein as September 1963.
I believe there is only 1x of each EMI Klemp recorded Bruckner symphony.
