One day Otto Klemperer visited a music shop with a recording company executive named George de Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. "Do you have Klemperer conducting Beethoven's Fifth?" he asked a clerk. "No," the man replied. "We have it conducted by Ormandy and Toscanini. Why do you want it by Klemperer?" "Because I am Klemperer," the conductor replied indignantly. "Right," the clerk said sarcastically, nodding at his companion. "And that, I suppose, is Beethoven?" "No," Klemperer said with a smile. "That's Mendelssohn."
