    About this album

    Klemperer’s Strauss set remains a benchmark for grandeur, discipline and emotional weight. In Death and Transfiguration and Metamorphosen, Otto Klemperer and the Philharmonia Orchestra bring granite-like control to two of Richard Strauss’s most searching orchestral works, balancing late-Romantic sweep with severe modern tension. Death and Transfiguration traces a life’s final ascent in radiant orchestral colour, while Metamorphosen, written in the aftermath of war, unfolds as a deeply mournful study for 23 solo strings. Recorded in stereo in 1962, the album captures a conductor and orchestra ideally matched to Strauss’s scale and complexity, making it a touchstone for serious classical listeners.
