Major documents from Rudolf Kempe's later years at the head of the Munich Philharmonic. Beethoven's Fifth, that masterpiece of emotional tension, and his Sixth, all vivid depiction of nature, are both readings of maturity and perfection.

I'm not a music scholar or musicologist, but I do own over 50 recordings of these Beethoven symphonies.

There are 3 types of interpretations for most classical works. Traditional, Historically Informed & Oddballs. This set falls under the Traditional Category.

Rudolf Kempe was one of the most talented and respected conductors of his time and it is a shame he isn't better known. His Beethoven is Traditional in the vein of Klemperer, Bohm, Bernstein, Kubelik, Szell, etc. These are not Historically Informed performances like Hogwood, Norrington or Gardiner. They are classic "Big Orchestra" sounding Beethoven. They are majestic and full of beauty and I feel Kempe's Beethoven cycle is certainly on par with his contemporaries.

On this CD we have recordings of Beethoven's 5th & 6th Symphonies.

His 5th takes a slower tempo than many these days are used too. Where others seem to race through the first movement, Kempe takes after Bohm & Klemperer and goes for the "Power, Grandeur and Glory" locked inside this music.

His 6th is just as masterful. Power, Passion, Grandeur and Playfulness abound.

I don't believe there is such a thing as a "best recording" or a "best interpretation". There is only what appeals to you personally as the listener. Over the years I have gradually gone away from the Historically Informed Performances when it comes to Beethoven. I prefer conductors who translate how they feel when they both see and hear this music. Kempe was always a conductor who had this magical ability for me. Much like his friend and fellow conductor Karl Richter, Kempe had a special ability to make the music come alive and convey every emotion he went through while conducting. He was a true artist and these recordings should not be missed for those who seek traditional Beethoven recordings with as much personal charm, care and passion as Klemperer, Bohm and Bernstein put into their well respected recordings.
