Otto Klemperer ist der Vater von Werner Klemperer. Werner Klemperer spielte in den 60er. Jahren in der Amerikanischen Serie "Hogans Heros" mit. Er spielte den verrückten Kommandant Klink mit den Feldwebel Schulz.
Bei den Proben vom Hammersmith Hall ist es offenkundig, dass er sowohl an den Folgen eines Schlaganfalls als auch an Parkinson litt. Extraordinary achievements
To be clear, Klemperer had no idea this would be his last concert. Already scheduled four months later was a concert in London consisting of Bruckner's Seventh Symphony. After flying from Zurich to London he felt too fatigued to do do it and at that point announced his retirement from concert giving. Even so there were still recordings planned but these, too, had to be abandoned due to increasing ill health and frailty. Despite moments of imprecision, what we have here is an immense performance of great intensity.
