2. Otto Klemperer: 'Fidelio'
This landmark recording came captures conductor Otto Klemperer performing Beethoven's only opera at Covent Garden Opera House with an impeccable cast. It helped to cement Klemperer's reputation as one of the finest Beethoven interpreters of the time, and the live setting makes it even more magical.
