Das Lied von der Erde by
Gustav Mahler(
Recording
)
46 editions published between 1975 and 2008 in 5 languages and held by 641 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
So einzigartig wie die formale Gestaltung des Werks, so extrem sind die Anforderungen an seine Interpreten: Es bedarf zweier gestandener Liedsänger, die im Zusammenwirken mit dem riesigen Orchesterapparat ebenso als Solisten hervortreten, wie sie sich als konzertierende Stimmen in das symphonische Gefüge mit einzuordnen vermögen. Es bedarf eines ausgezeichneten, bestens aufeinander abgestimmten Klangkörpers, und natürlich einer Dirigentenpersönlichkeit, die für Zusammenhalt sorgt und der Großform Geist und Beseeltheit verleiht. Alle diese Parameter fügten sich bei Konzerten zusammen, die am 25. und 26. Januar 2018 im Herkulessaal der Münchener Residenz aufgezeichnet wurden und nun bereits als CD bei BR Klassik veröffentlicht werden

23 editions published between 1965 and 2012 in 3 languages and held by 551 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Esta es, verdaderamente, la grabación más fina del atractivo y elegíaco Cello Concerto de Elgar. Se tiene en alta estima, casi irracional, en el Reino Unido, en gran parte debido a el afecto universal para Jacqueline Du Pré, la esposa de Daniel Barenboim, cuya temprana muerte de esclerosis múltiple cortó lo que hubiera sido una carrera estelar. Este disco es igualmente significativo por la magnífica interpretación, por parte de Dame Janet Baker, de los "Sea pictures", el único ciclo orquestral de canciones del compositor
