Mahler: The Complete Works (17 CD Box Set) (CD)

Customer Review

As under Universal Music label Deutsche Grammophon (see Complete Edition), EMI offers to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Mahler's birth, a complete edition of his works. I do not own this integral, but it contains several legendary recordings I know well and its program, quite rich and interesting, deserves detailed (NB: When I make no comment is that I do not know proposed version):

Das Klagende Lied Helena Döse, Alfreda Hodgson, Robert Tear, Sean Rea, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Sir Simon Rattle (1983-1984)

PIANO QUARTET IN A MINOR: Susan Tomes, Krysia Osostowicz, Timothy Boulton, Richard Lester (1988)
I do not know this version, but this little-known work is very beautiful.

Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen: Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Philharmonia Orchestra, Wilhelm Furtwängler (1952)
This recording is historic in every sense of the word: it is one of the few testimonies of Furtwängler in Mahler and Fischer-Dieskau, young, is sovereign.

SYMPHONY No. 1: Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Carlo Maria Giulini (1971)

SYMPHONY No. 2: Elisabeth Schwarzkopf & Hilde Rössl-Majdan, Philharmonia Orchestra, Otto Klemperer (1961-1962)
This recording is a reference since its release: severe and intense approach Klemperer is remarkable.

DREI LIEDER FÜR Frühe TENOR & PIANO: Antonio Pappano & Ian Bostridge (2010)

AUS DER LIEDER UND Gesange Jugendzeit Christa Ludwig & Gerald Moore (1959), Roger Vignoles & Karnéus Katarina (1988), Brigitte Fassbaender & Irwin Gage (1979-1980), Alice Coote & Julius Drake (2002), Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau & Daniel Barenboim (1978)
I know that the recordings of Christa Ludwig and Fischer-Dieskau, which are absolutely royal.

SYMPHONY No. 3: Birgit Remmert, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Sir Simon Rattle (1997)

Blumine (1st version 2nd mvt of the 1st symphony): Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, Paavo Järvi (2007)

SYMPHONY No. 4: Dame Margaret Price, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Jascha Horenstein (1970)
This version of the 4th is beautiful: Horenstein directs with finesse and Margaret Price is radiant.

SYMPHONY No. 5: London Philharmonic Orchestra, Klaus Tennstedt (1988)

KINDERTOTENLIEDER: Kathleen Ferrier, Wiener Philharmoniker, Bruno Walter (1949)
Version legendary and absolutely must.

RÜCKERT-LIEDER: Janet Baker, New Philharmonia Orchestra, Sir John Barbirolli (1969)

SYMPHONY No. 6: New Philharmonia Orchestra, Sir John Barbirolli (1967)

SYMPHONY No. 7: City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Sir Simon Rattle (1991)

DES Knaben Wunderhorn: Elisabeth Schwarzkopf & Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, London Symphony Orchestra, George Szell (1968)
This version is beautiful and culminates in a "Wie die schönen Trompeten" unforgettable.

SYMPHONY No. 8: Elizabeth Connell, Edith Wiens, Felicity Lott, Trudeliese Schmidt, Nadine Denize, Richard Versalle Jorma Hynninen, Hans Sotin, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Klaus Tennstedt (1986)

DAS LIED VON DER ERDE: Christa Ludwig & Fritz Wunderlich, Philharmonia Orchestra, New Philharmonia Orchestra, Otto Klemperer (1964)
That is, with that of Bruno Walter, the most famous version of this work. Ludwig, Wunderlich Klemperer and there are sky high.

SYMPHONY No. 9: Berliner Philharmoniker, Sir John Barbirolli (1964)

SYMPHONY No. 10 (Version Deryck Cooke): Berliner Philharmoniker, Sir Simon Rattle (1999)

NB: CD16 bonus offers some additional versions of some songs:

5 RÜCKERT-LIEDER: Thomas Hampson & Wolfram Rieger (1996)
The interpretation of Hampson is beautiful and it is very valuable to be able to listen to these songs in their piano version (not for orchestra).

ICH BIN DER WELT ABHANDEN gekommen: Janet Baker, Hallé Orchestra, Sir John Barbirolli (1967); Christa Ludwig and Gerald Moore (1957); Christa Ludwig, Philharmonia Orchestra, Otto Klemperer (1964); Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Daniel Barenboim (1978); Thomas Allen, English Chamber Orchestra, Jeffrey Tate (1989); Brigitte Fassbaender & Irwin Cage (1979-1980); Katarina & Roger Vignoles Karnéus (1988)
Again, I know that the interpretations of Christa Ludwig and Fischer-Dieskau, who are wonderful.
