Bit of a pleasant discovery.
Very tuneful and listenable indeed, in a ripely romantic manner.

A fine set of Mozart piano sonatas - lively and lucid.

My goodness, it's too easy to take the old masters like Klemperer for granted.
Playing Beethoven 1st symphony - and it is utterly superb in its rhythmic lucidity, precision and tonal weight.
Marvellous.
Great sq, too, from the "EMI Golden Age".

Antonio Vivaldi – ‘Concerti’
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....L._SL1200_.jpg
Concentus musicus Wien, Harnoncourt; Concerto Amsterdam, Jaap Schröder
Played using original instruments.
Telefunken ‘Das Alte Werke’ 6.35416 (1968) 6 LP set
Do I need yet another copy of the 'Four Seasons'? No not really, but then I'm a big fan of the use of original instruments - and this version inter alia is a refreshing and interesting reading. No, it doesn't surplant the Drottingholm Consort's version in my opinion, but is a welcome addition nonetheless.
The rest of the concerti are thoroughly enjoyable as well.
Having rediscovered Furtwangler, I'm now revisiting Klemperer's reading of the Beethoven symphonies. I used to think of Klemperer as 'stolid' and 'plodding', but I'm now changing my view.Quote:
