The magic of Mozart and the art of Klemperer and divided violins. Sheer bliss.

My uncle was a writer of light novels, living in Greenwich Village, New York, New York. I was twenty one around 1961 when I gave him this record with the Linz on the other side, but he preferred the Haffner and played it often. One summer evening he was playing the record with the window open and the phone rang. "Hey, bud, turn the record down, would ya?" My uncle turned it off. Two weeks later he left on vacation. When he came back he did not play the record player. The phone rang. "Hey, bud, when I said turn the record down, I didn't mean turn it off! Put another record on, will ya?"

Remembering OTTO KLEMPERER, who died on this day in 1973.

Is there a more brilliant first movement in the symphonic literature than this one? And Klemperer is unafraid to bring out the sheer diversity in Mozart's sublime string writing, as few other conductors dare to do.

[@jameshandaja1536]

Of all symphonies Mozart wrote, this one has the most beautiful slow movement...

[@notaire2]

Spannende Aufführung dieser erregenden Sinfonie mit perfekter Synchronisierung aller Instrumente im relativ schnellen Tempo. Echt genialer Dirigent!

[@daved6168]

IMO, the addition by Mozart of this single stroke in the second go-round but not in the first is what, among many other things of course, marks this man as an ABSOLUTE GENIUS! All this amid such SIMPLICITY. Klemp seems to.have simply missed this subtlety.

[@ikseldecorativearts8139]

Klemperer should be spelled Klemperor. He rules over so many works.

[@daved6168]

MISSING :
The single drumstroke at 4:08 in the second go-round. VERY IMPORTANT!

The strict and deep jew from Breslau playing the heavenly catholic from Salzburg .... this is fantastic , fantastic .....

Were we writing about the music?When religious views preceed artistic judgement the musical discussion is diminished.Come on folks. You listened to this for a reason, now what do you think...or don't you really care about the music?

In certain things Klemperer was the best that ever was.
