This is a record of Brahms' Symphony No. 4, conducted by Otto Klemperer with the Philharmonia Orchestra. The recording is from 1957. This piece by Brahms has a somber mood, reminiscent of late autumn in his later years. The incorporation of the passacaglia, a Baroque style, in the fourth movement makes it a masterpiece that showcases Brahms' compositional technique. Compared to his contemporaries Furtwängler and Walter, Klemperer's performance is not flashy, but his meticulous playing has a lasting impact on the listener. I believe Klemperer's strong will, having overcome numerous hardships such as a brain tumor, severe burns, and complex fractures, is reflected in his music. The Philharmonia Orchestra was formed to record Klemperer's music. I purchased this record over 40 years ago and listened to it several times, but it has been stored in a closet for many years due to a broken stereo. The spine of the jacket has some discoloration due to aging, as shown in photos 5 and 6, but the record itself appears to be in good condition. However, please consider that it is a used item. #ClassicalMusicRecords
