Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Symphony No. 25 in G minor, KV 183: II. Andante (Klemperer 1951)
"He does not conduct the music; he is conducted by the music. As soon as the music starts, he is touched and carried away. To many listeners, his secret are obsessively regular tempi. But those who will listen closely know that it is not the tempo that makes the effect, the tempo is only the consequence: Consequence of the true and autonomous breath of the music itself. Klemperer reproduces this breath so full of life that everybody can hear how moved the man is. He feels better than anybody else that it is the music which uses him as an instrument; thence his respect for the score, and his modesty: When the concert is over, he nods his head and walks out." - Bertus van Lier
I realize this account's sonics and playing are inferior to Klemperer's studio remake with the Philharmonia orchestra, but I still feel this is an infinitely more exiting account of this stormy, youthfully audacious work. Klemperer tears through the outer movements with fanatical concentration and energy, this recording debunks two myths about Klemperer's choice of tempo: His tempi are both fast and flexible, like Toscanini he bites into each climax with quite obvious accelerandi. I hope some of you will be able to enjoy this incredible document despite the flawed sonics and the occasional bloop in the horns.
EDIT: I found a typo in the accompanying image and thus reuploaded the whole thing. Sorry for the inconvenience, folks.
