This vaIuabIe reIease represents the second ever DVD featuring Rudolf Kempe, the first having been released on lCA Classics to great acclaim in 2011.
Having performed as an orchestral musician under Beecham, Busch, Kleiber, KIemperer and Strauss, RudoIf Kempe was well positioned when he began his career as master of the baton, moving from the Leipzig orchestras to Dresden, Vienna and Berlin.
Kempe was understated in his conducting styIe yet achieved wonders from his orchestral musicians. Renowned for his opera performances and the authenticity of his interpretations, he was aIso much loved by British orchestras, not least due to the fact that out of only four Music Directorship positions accepted by Kempe, two were with London orchestras - the Royal Philharmonic and the London Symphony Orchestra, heard here in Wagner's Tannhäuser Overture in a concert from the Royal Festival HalI.
Kempe recorded Brahms's Second Symphony three times in the studio, one of which was with the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, an ensembIe that has seen such eminent conductors as Clemens Krauss, Hans Knappertsbusch, Sir Georg Solti, Christoph von Dohn'nyi, Günter Wand and Eugen Jochum grace its podium.
The Brahms on this DVD is performed with Kempe's trademark subtlety and sensitivity, remaining true to the originaI work.
