Otto Klemperer - Mahler: Das Lied Von Der Erde - Japan CDDescription: The "Classical Masters" series. This is a collection of Otto Klemperer's masterpieces from the last years of his life, in which he sings the sorrows and joys of life in great detail. In his last days, Mahler's "Ode to the Earth," filled with pessimism and sweet longing, was harshly confronted, offering a glimpse into the unfathomable depths of his life. Fritz Wunderlich and Christa Ludwig's singing is also exquisite. (C)RS
