A publishing sensation in Germany (where they have sold over 100,000 copies at 45), the publication of Victor Klemperer's diaries brings to light one of the most extraordinary documents of the Nazi period. The son of a rabbi, Klemperer was by 1933 a professor of languages in Dresden. Over the next decade he, like other German Jews, lost his job, his house and many of his friends, even his cat, as Jews were not allowed to own pets. Throughout, he, like so many other German Jews, remained loyal to his country, determined not to emigrate, and convinced that each successive Nazi act against the Jews must be the last. Saved for much of the war from the Holocaust by his marriage to a gentile, he was able to escape in the aftermath of the Allied bombing of Dresden and survived the remaining months of the war in hiding. Throughout, Klemperer kept a diary, for a Jew in Nazi Germany a daring act ion itself. Shocking and moving by turns, it is a remarkable and important document, as powerful and astonishing in its way as Anne Frank's classic. This edition combines both volumes of his diaries, together forming the complete set. They cover the period from Hitler's election to the beginnings of the Holocaust, to the end of the war. They tell the story of Klemperer's increasing isolation, his near miraculous survival, his awareness of the development of the growing Holocaust as friends and associates disappeared, and his narrow escapes from deportation and the Dresden firebombing in 1945.

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.

This final volume of Victor Klemperer’s diaries opens in 1945. After the horrors of the war, Victor and Eva’s return to their Dresden home seems like a fairytale. Victor tries to resume his distinguished academic career and joins East Germany’s Communist Party. In 1951, Eva dies; a year later, aged 70, Victor marries a student an unlikely but successful love match. But with the growing repression of the Communist Party, and the memory of those who did not survive, Victor’s achievements ring hollow. Politics, he comes to believe, is, above all, the choice of the lesser evil.” A masterpiece both of Holocaust literature and memoir.

531 S. Die Tagebücher, die der deutsch-jüdische Romanist Victor Klemperer zwischen 1933 und 1945 führte, bieten einen ganz besonders aufschlussreichen Einblick in das alltägliche Funktionieren der nationalsozialistischen Diktatur. Seine Aufzeichnungen stellen aber nicht nur ein beeindruckendes historisches Zeugnis dar, sondern nehmen eine spannungsvolle Zwischenstellung zwischen Literatur und Historiographie ein. Im Rahmen von Geschichte oftmals als authentisches Dokument wahrhaftiger Selbstäußerung betrachtet, von der Literaturwissenschaft dagegen als Objekt potentieller Fiktion verstanden, steht das Tagebuch stets auf der disziplinären Grenzscheide von Geschichts- und Literaturwissenschaft. Die Vielschichtigkeit der Klemperer-Tagebücher, die Persönliches und Zeitgeschichtliches ineinander verweben, erfordert eine feinmaschige, interdisziplinäre Annäherung. Untersucht werden vor diesem Hintergrund das deutsch-jüdische Selbstverständnis des Autors, die Formen und Funktionen seiner Tagebuchpraxis sowie seine Analyse der nationalsozialistischen Gesellschaft. Das Buch geht aus kulturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive der Frage nach, inwiefern Klemperers Notizen als Formen kultureller Selbstthematisierung, Fremdwahrnehmung und Geschichtsreflexion zu verstehen sind. Die Analyse weist nach, wie das kulturelle Wissen, die Normen, Werte, Diskurse und Mentalitäten, die sich in den Aufzeichnungen manifestieren, Aufschluss über die Wirklichkeitsvorstellungen des Autors geben. Die vorliegende Studie macht plausibel, wie das spezifische Leistungsvermögen von Victor Klemperers Tagebüchern in ihrer Pluriformität als zugleich philologisches Notizheft, historiographische Darstellung des Antisemitismus im NS-Alltag, privates Reflexionsmedium und persönliche Überlebenshilfe liegt.

Mozart: Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute) Otto Klemperer brings his customary nobility of conception to Die Zauberflte, with it's symbolic drama, and is joined by an exceptional cast. Gundula Janowitz sings Pamina with sublime beauty and the young Lucia Popp is brilliant as the Queen of the Night, the role that first made her reputation. - These are the first five releases in a new line of premium releases of classic operatic recordings. - Each of these releases offers optimum sound quality.

Die tote Stadt may be better known for the lushly orchestrated lyricism of it's music, but the psychological acuity of it's exploration of grief and memory is no less impressive from a composer who was still 23 when Otto Klemperer conducted the premiere in Cologne in 1920. Korngold's gift for a tune ensured that his star has hardly waned since then, though the opera is rarely staged, Kasper Holten's insightful and restrained production is a rare chance to see and hear an opera of high emotional

This is one of four LPs that EMI/Columbia released for Otto Klemperer's 80th birthday in 1965. Bruckner's Symphonies were relatively unknown to the record-buying public in the 1960s, when complete cycles, like Bernard Haitink's were still in the process of being recorded. Klemperer uses the Nowak edition of 1953, based on the 1886 revision of the score and gives and idiosyncratic interpretation, with outer movements faster than you would expect from this conductor, that nonetheless preserves the

Otto Klemperer was very much a man of the theatre. Here, opera and drama were truly united, he said of his time at Berlins Kroll Theatre, a progressive and influential force in the heady years of the Weimar Republic. He was also a man with a sharp sense of humour: this performance of Mendelssohns incidental music to Shakespeares A Midsummer Nights Dream both glows with enchantment and sparkles with wit. - Heather Harper soprano (A-4, B-6) Janet Baker alto (A-4) The Philharmonia Orchestra &
