Even in the quiet moments Klemperer points the rhythms and makes more incisive the attaack; such as approach fully justifies the conductor's adoption of generally broad tempos. This emphatic prevision of chording, even in the quietest moments, is all the more convincing because of the absolute firmness of tempo.
I have heard other Klemperer perofrmances of the [Eroica] in the concert hall but I suggest that this excellent Medici Arts version gives the best recorded representation of what Klemperer felt about the music. (Antony Hodgson, Classical Source

...Klemperer typically savours lithe light contrapuntal or tremolando textures. Lovely muted strings open the intimate Andante...the dotted rhythms maintain a bouyancy and capacity for legato all too rare in Mozart interpretation...a consistently enthusiastic realization from Klemperer and his gifted Munich players. Gary Lemco, Audiophile Audition.

With a glorious solo oboe, trumpets, french horns and timpani take over the pulse, and an embryonic reaction results where the listener is literally enveloped by the enormous power of the reading. I found myself reacting with delight from the distant horn declamation of the main theme, right through to the final apotheosis of the extended close... This is just how a full symphony orchestra should sound... these readings...cap that magnificent era of music making between the 1950s and mid 60s which, unfortunately, will probably never return. Performances to cherish. Bill Newman, Music and Vision

...[a] deeply expressive and hugely communicative performance... it seems to me that Klemperer was at his greatest in the Eroica. This latest example of his way with it demonstrates yet again the quality of orchestral balancing of which he was so eloquent a master, the architectural buttressing, the control of tempi and tempo relationships... it is splendidly interpreted and performed.
The coupling is Mozart's K201 Symphony... tempi are generally relaxed, although there's a tensile spine running throughout... Jonathan Woolf, Musicweb International
