Klink-Klunk

[David Pelletier <PROMONDE@aol.com>]

It should be noted that the son of one of the conductors Glenn Gould held in
high respect passed away the other day. Werner Klemperer, son of the late
Germanic titan Otto Klemperer and better known as Colonel Klink on Hogan's
Heroes has gone to meet his maker.

Many of you Gould scholars may remember the example Glenn used in 1966's "The
Prospect's of Recording." He spoke of assembling perfect symphonic renditions
by taking a 1st movement from one conductor and combining it with other
movements by other conductors until you had the ideal complete symphony based
on the recorded strengths of individual artistes. Klemperer was one of those
whose monumental interpretations he held in high regard.
