Unique luxurious edition box set with rare film material on Otto Klemperer. The set features the legendary documentary Otto Klemperer's Long Journey Through His Times by Philo Bregstein which has never before been published on Home Video.

The limited edition box set exclusively includes the complete audio recording of Klemperer's Last Concert with the New Philharmonia from 1971 on 180g Double LP.
Otto Klemperer was doubtlessly one of the most important and most influential conductors of the 20th century. His interpretations of Gustav Mahler, Richard Wagner, Ludwig van Beethoven and Johannes Brahms still belong to the standard for all generations of conductors today.
In Philo Bregsteins film Otto Klemperer's Long Journey Through His Times restored, re-edited and finally available again after 20 years you can follow Klemperers journey from Germany to the USA, back to Hungary and lastly to London, documented with a lot of detail and archive material. This film is a unique filmography that you will find nowhere else.
Klemperer The Last Concert shows exclusive film material of rehearsals and the "last" concert on September 26, 1971 at the Royal Festival Hall, London in a documentary that can be called Klemperers musical legacy on film.
The history and genesis of the films, Klemperers obvious significance as a musical visionary and his legacy to the generations of musicians after him are included in the over 250-page book accompanying the special edition. It brings together introductions by the director and his team, special discourses by renowned musicologists and a collection of rarely seen photographs.
As special features this edition includes not only the complete audio recording on 180g Double LP of the last concert from London, but also never before seen filmed interviews with Pierre Boulez and Ernst Bloch from 1972.
"My idea was to use the unique opportunity to film Klemperer during the three rehearsals and the ensuing concert, not so much to convey a number of musical impressions, but more to create a historical musical document that sought to reveal the core of Klemperer's art of conducting." - Philo Bregstein on his film
