About

Klaus Tennstedt has been a major seller for BBC Legends, and in the US he established his international career and became one of the most popular guest conductors with all the major orchestras – Boston, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia etc, together with some sensational appearances at the Metropolitan Opera in New York.

Tennstedt is joined by two celebrated international singers – the late lamented Lucia Popp, whose international career started with the Vienna State Opera under Karajan, and then appearances all over the world in opera and in lieder, recording for all the major record companies with such names as Klemperer and Solti – and Tom Allen, who remains one of the UK’s most admired and enduring baritones, with frequent appearances at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and all the main international venues.

Tennstedt recorded the Brahms Requiem once before in the studio for EMI (and was never considered one of his best recordings), but this live performace in 1984 at the Royal Festival Hall find him in wonderful form.

"A taut, spirited performance…within a very atmospheric Royal Albert Hall acoustic, boasting characterful wind solos and amply bodied strings. In short, a winner, reminding how Tennstedt was able to use his volcanic inspiration to great effect… " - Nick Breckenfield, classicalsource.com

Recorded: Royal Albert Hall, 26 August 1984.
