Review:
| The late Klaus Tennstedt was an on-again, off-again conductor. When he was good, he was incendiary; and when he was bad, he was really a mess. It didn't help that most of his records were made with the London Philharmonic, possibly |
the most slovenly orchestra in the UK on any given day. Here, with the much, much finer Berlin Philharmonic under his baton, he evidently had a series of good days. These are very fine performances of Wagner orchestral favorites, and the only thing that may have prevented their being acclaimed on initial release was the not-so-great early digital sound--nicely cleaned up on this economical and intelligent remastering. --David Hurwitz
