At last, a life of Klaus Tennstedt
NewsThe German researcher and filmmaker Georg Wübbolt, renowned for biopics of Karajan, Bernstein and Solti, has been trying for years to interest brodcasters and publishers in the story of klaus Tennstedt, a conductor many regarded as the most naturally gifted of all.
Georg has just uploaded his book onto Amazon, and I can’t wait to read and report on it.
Tennstedt’s life in East Germany, his escape to the West and his overnight acclamation are the stuff of legend. Karajan called him ‘the last of the true Kapellmeisters.’ Carlos Kleiber said: ‘Finally, a conductor to admire.’ Kurt Masur said: ‘I wanted to be like him.’
