To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Otto Klemperer s death, EMI Classics pays tribute
to the incomparable conductor with the release of an extensive edition of luxurious

The collection of Bruckner Symphonies is a 6-CD set presenting 5 of Bruckner s
symphonies including the incomplete 9th symphony that was never finished due to his
death. The set presents a comprehensive survey of Klemperer s renowned conducting.
