Klaus Tennstedt, born in the small Saxon town of Merseburg, was a German conductor whose career took a dramatic turn when he defected from East Germany at the age of 45, virtually unknown in the West. Despite this late start, Tennstedt quickly rose to prominence, becoming a dominant figure in the orchestral scene, particularly in London. A former violinist with a solo career cut short by a growth, Tennstedt's conducting prowess was undeniable, leading him to conduct renowned orchestras such as the London Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony, and the New York Philharmonic. His performances, notably of Mahler's 'Resurrection' Symphony and works by Brahms and Bruckner, were celebrated for their depth and intensity. Tennstedt's legacy endures as one of the finest German conductors to emerge post-World War II, leaving an indelible mark on the classical music world.
