Press Reviews

Collectors Reviews

"While it certainly will not appeal to the authentic lobby, Klemperer's 1962 Philharmonia recording of the St Matthew Passion represents one of his greatest acheivements on record, an act of devotion of such intensity that points of style and interpretation seem insignificant."
