Joseph Anton Bruckner Composition Symphony No. 7 in E major (Novak version) Philharmonia Orchestra Conductor: Otto Klemperer Recorded at Kingsway Hall, November 1-5, 1960 This performance is regarded as the most well-balanced of the Bruckner series of stereo recordings, second only to the Fifth. The beauty of the Adagio is especially stunning. Among Bruckner's symphonies, Klemperer seemed to conduct No. 7 most often, and in fact, the performance he cancelled just before announcing his retirement was also this No. 7.
