As fine as the cast is, the work of conductor Otto Klemperer is the real reason that this Fidelio is the Fidelio to get if you're getting only one. Acknowledged in his time as one of the greatest of postwar Beethoven conductors, Klemperer is at the top of his game here, delivering a performance that is perfectly formed, wonderfully detailed, intensely dramatic, and overwhelmingly effective, without being trite, tawdry, or overdone. By the time the Act II finale ends, Klemperer should have all but the most skeptical listeners convinced that not only is this the finest recording of Fidelio.

Otto Nossan Klemperer (14 May 1885 – 6 July 1973) was a Jewish German-born conductor and composer, described as "the last of the few really great conductors of his generation. Otto Klemperer was born in Breslau, Province of Silesia, then in Germany (now Wrocław, Poland), as a son of Nathan Klemperer, a native of Prague, Bohemia (today's Czech Republic). His parents were Jewish.

Otto Klemperer: 'Fidelio'. This landmark recording came captures conductor Otto Klemperer performing Beethoven's only opera at Covent Garden Opera House with an impeccable cast. It helped to cement Klemperer's reputation as one of the finest Beethoven interpreters of the time, and the live setting makes it even more magical.
