Strauss/ Dvorak: Kempe (Ein Heldenleben/ Symphony No.9)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The audio recording of the Dvorák 9 from this Kempe DVD has been released on BBC Legends, and was a Penguin Guide Rosette Winner. In this performance of Strauss, we witness Kempes mastery in securing issues of structure, atmosphere and emotional intensity (David Patmore), along with his unfailing musicality. According to the Times critic, Joan Chissell, Kempes performance of Heldenleben won him a heros ovation, and rightly Conducting without a score, Mr. Kempe gave detailed guidance to every player, yet at the same time retained the ability to stand back and view the work in perspective. The performance of Dvorák 9 a year later was described by Chissell as glowing enough to make you fall in love with its familiar strains all over again.

REVIEW
fascinating mid 70's footage of Kempe at the Proms,caught in vintage colour.Famous for his Ein Heldenleben,he is even more illuminating in Dvorak's New World Symphony. Performance ***** Picture & Sound **** --BBC Music Magazine,July'11

A valuable document of past glories,both television and musical. --Gramophone Awards issue,11

This New World is one that emerges as a real eye-opener and a very different work from the one that we re usually presented with. It justifiably receives a huge ovation from the audience. --MusicWeb Inernational, 2 June 2011
