Otto Klemperer - Dvorak: New World Symphony (1963) [2021 SACD Definition Serie]

"New World" was recorded in October and November 1963, when Klemperer was in good health, and was well-known to fans as a robust performance that "doesn't falter under anything." Even within Klemperer's unique worldview, it's amazing how elements that match the content of the song ooze out from within, making this a masterpiece that is typical of Klemperer. The coupling includes seven songs from ``Little Threepenny Music,'' which he commissioned and premiered, and ``Merry Waltz,'' the most well-known of his own compositions.
