Second and final volume of Otto Klemperer’s recordings of Schumann symphonic music: his rendition of the Fourth one (which was actually the first recorded of the cycle, in 1960) is definitely among the unmissable versions of the work! As per the late third symphony, recorded in 1969, it is controversial due to the disruptive tempo choices of Klemperer but remains a fascinating testimony of the conductor’s late manner.
