Otto Klemperer: Volume 1, 1885-1933
This widely acclaimed first volume (1885-1933) is now made available in a newly designed format as a companion to the newly published volume 2 (1933-1973).
Otto Klemperer: Volume 2, 1933-1973
Otto Klemperer was one of the great conductors of the century. This second volume of Peter Heyworth's celebrated biography follows the conductor's fortunes from his time as an émigré in the United States to his final years as conductor of the Philharmonia Orchestra of London. His time in America was frustrating and unhappy. He became chief conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, but failed to secure important engagements on the East Coast. Bedevilled by manic depression, his euphoric moods led to wild escapades, on one occasion finding him in police cells. Returning to Europe in 1946, he found work at the Budapest State Opera until Stalin's grip forced him away. In the fifties he found work where he could, suffering illness, accidents and depression. Finally, he was given a contract with EMI and his concerts and recordings with the Philharmonia brought, at last, the worldwide recognition that had so long eluded him. The two volumes are also available as a set.

Gespräche mit Klemperer
Peter Heyworth hat mit Klemperer, zunächst für den Rundfunk, ausgiebig-eindringliche Gespräche geführt. Er hat zu fragen, der Befragte zu antworten verstanden. Die Gespräche sind zu einer konzentrierten Autobiographie gefügt. In ungetrübtem Erinnern zeichnet Klemperer seine Laufbahn nach – vom frühen Dirigieren für Max Reinhardt über die entscheidenden Begegnungen mit Gustav Mahler, seine Konventionen umstürzende Leitung der Krolloper in Berlin bis zum Exil und zu den grandiosen, schwerster körperlicher Behinderung abgetrotzten Aufschwüngen im höchsten Alter. Mit wenigen Worten wird Musik-, Kultur-, Zeitgeschichte lebendig. (Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine frühere Ausgabe.)
