Klaus Tennstedt Live, Vol. 3 on CD

Few conductors of Klaus Tennstedt's generation demonstrated such complete mastery of the Classical and Romantic repertoire from Beethoven to Mahler and Strauss, coupled with an intensity in live performance that was palpable.

He was among the finest German conductors to emerge after the Second World War and was in constant demand with such orchestras as the New York Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony, the Berlin Philharmonic and the London Philharmonic.

Doremi's third Tennstedt volume of live concert material presents Beethoven's Eroica symphony with the Boston Symphony from Tanglewood, 1977 and Bruckner's 8th symphony with the New York Philharmonic, April 14, 1992 (this was to be Tennstedt's last guest appearance in the U.S.).
