Otto Klemperer - German Opera Overtures & Waltz (1961) [2021 SACD Definition Serie]

This "German Opera Overture Collection & Waltz" includes 6 songs such as each opera overture of the original release recorded in 1960, and 2 songs by Johann Strauss recorded the following year. These Strauss works were originally recorded in the album containing Weil mentioned above, and this time it will be reprinted with a different coupling (originally I was planning to put "Wiener Blut" here, but the recording time I have omitted this time because of the relationship). Of the "German Opera Overtures", Weber is an overwhelming performance with a fulfilling sound unique to Klemperer who knows all about the work. On the other hand, the two songs, including Viennese waltz, are small but give a sense of the depth of the song, including the uniqueness of the song as if it were a big song. Each piece is the same as the Omagari in that it is carefully constructed, so the degree of fulfillment after listening is comparable. The sound quality is also substantial here, the separation is good, and the outlook is good, so I think that the audio satisfaction is high.
