Rudolf Kempe was a German conductor. One of the great unsung conductors of the middle twentieth century, Rudolf Kempe enjoyed a strong reputation in England but never quite achieved the international acclaim that he might have had with more aggressive management, promotion, and recording. Not well enough known to be a celebrity but too widely respected to count as a cult figure, Kempe is perhaps best remembered as a connoisseur’s conductor, one valued for his strong creative temperament rather than for any personal mystique. This Japanese double reissue of pair of Beethoven’s recordings (Symphony No. 3 In E Flat Major, Op.55 ‘Eroica’ (1960) & Overtures (1959)) features the 96kHz/24bit DSD Mastering from the analog master tapes.
