Rudolf Kempe was associated with the Royal Philharmonic (RPO) from 1955. In 1960, he became its Associate

Conductor, chosen by the orchestra's founder, Sir Thomas Beecham. From 1961 to 1962 he was Principal

Conductor of the RPO, and from 1963 to 1975 its Artistic Director. A member of the RPO later said of Kempe,

"He was a wonderful controller of the orchestra, and a very great accompanist ... Kempe was like someone

driving a racing-car, following the piano round the bends." Kempe abolished Beecham's male-only rule,

introducing women into the RPO: an orchestra without them, he said, "always reminds me of the army". In 1970,

the RPO named him Conductor for Life, but in 1975, he resigned his post with the orchestra and died the

following year, aged 65. His distinguished career in both the opera house and concert hall led to the first

quadraphonic Beethoven cycle with the Munich Philharmonic for EMI in the mid '70s.
