3 out of 5 stars Great Recording Falls Short.......2000-08-02

I have a previous EMI CD issue of Klemperer's 4th Symphony which is complimented by the equally great 3rd Symphony. Some stores still carry it. This compilation, however, is nowhere near as great even though Klemperer's recording of the 4th is the greatest and most colorful I have ever found. Better recordings are still available of the Academic Overture such as Sony Classics' George Szell or if you want nostalghia, RCA Victor's Toscanni. The Schumann Overtures have a historical context since Schumann was one of Brahms' mentor but I frankly don't see how anyone could be satisfied with the overtures after hearing the intense, expansive chords of Brahms' 4th. Possibly Klemperer's recording of 'Fingal's Cave by Mendelssohn would have been more suitable.

I'll settle for the older Cd version with the 3rd Symphony. That would would be the 'Klemperer Legacy' at its finest.
