A set of live recordings of the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Klaus Tennstedt.
This boxed set documents the extraordinary relationship between Klaus Tennstedt and the London Philharmonic Orchestra, which was characterised by life-affirming concerts and a genuine connection between musicians, conductor and audience.
Tennstedt’s particular affinity with Mahler’s works is on display in these live concert recordings of some of the mightiest symphonies in the repertoire. For Tennstedt, Mahler’s works could only be approached with an acknowledgement and experience of life’s hardships, and this was always apparent in his performances.
