Otto Klemperer conducts the complete cycle in sequence with the New Philharmonia Orchestra leader Emanuel Hurwitz
Tonight Symphony No 1, in c major and Symphony No 2, in D major

Otto Klemperer, 85 years old and the leading Beethoven conductor of our day, celebrates the bicentenary of the composer's birth with these performances, recorded at public concerts in the Royal Festival Hall.
These two symphonies were written in Vienna at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. Beethoven was still unrecognised as a composer and making his living as a pianist and teacher.
He was then 30 and only just becoming alarmed at the occasional weakness in his hearing that was later to become total deafness.

A masterly film by Kon Ichikawa director of Alone on the Pacific and Tokyo Olympiad on the magnificent former capital city of Japan.
The film is a remarkable interpretation of the indestructible elements of Japanese culture of which Kyoto is the spirit. Ichikawa records on film, for the first time in its entirety, the Imperial villa of Katsura, the famous moss gardens, and the monastic life of the Buddhist monk.
The music, by the famous Japanese composer Takemitsu is perfectly matched to the slow, restrained direction of Kon Ichikawa
'This film was an acute blend of specific detail and dewy impression, working through an accumulation of vision, texture, and pattern.' (New Statesman)
