A box-set honouring one record producer

A box-set honouring one record producer

The Australian compilation brand Eloquence has come up with a set of recordings acknowledging the life’s work of Otto Gerdes, best known as Herbert von Karajan’s main producer on Deutsche Grammophon.

Gerdes was also a conductor. He was promoted at artistic director of the label until, one day, he addressed Karajan, perhaps ironically, as ‘Herr Kollege’. The next day he was fired by DG.

He died on June 15, 1989, a month ahead of Karajan.
