Klaus Tennstedt Live, Vol. 7

Few conductors of Klaus Tennstedt's generation demonstrated such complete mastery of the Classical and Romantic repertoire from Beethoven to Mahler and Strauss, coupled with an intensity in live performance that was palpable. He was among the finest German conductors to emerge after the Second World War and was in constant demand with such orchestras as the New York Philharmonic the Boston Symphony, the Berlin Philharmonic and the London Philharmonic. Doremi's 7th volume of live recordings of Klaus Tennstedt feature 3 works by Shostakovich: the Piano Concerto No.1, the Violin Concerto No. 1 and the Symphony No. 9 - with a performance from Tokyo of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, Barber's Adagio for Strings and Mozart's Overture to Don Giovanni.
