Music reviews of Great Recordings Of The Century - Janet Baker Sings Mahler: kindertotenlieder / 5 Ruckertlieder / Lieder Eines Fahrenden Gesellen
Music Review: Baker+Barbirolli+Mahler=Desert Island Material. Outstanding!
Rating: 5 Stars
While I won't damn Mahler with faint praise like my predecessor below, I'll certainly echo his sentiments (and those of the others) regarding the artistic marriage of Dame Janet Baker, Sir John Barbirolli, and the orchestral song cycles of Gustav Mahler. These performances have been honored since their first appearances in the USA via EMI's Angel label in the late 60's and early 70's. Baker's recorded relationship with Barbirolli dates back to 1964 and her turn as the Angel in their performance of Elgar's "Dream of Gerontius," a justly famous reading of the work that Sir John most closely identified with during his long career. Their subsequent collaborations were almost always memorable, and often benchmark-setting in quality. Such is the case here. Baker is simply haunting and profound in her readings, and musically satisfying in a manner that begs you to train all of your attention to the works contained in this collection.For those whose taste for Mahler runs deep, seek out Dame Janet's performance of "Das Lied Von der Erde," with Bernard Haitink and the Royal Amsterdam Concertgebouw on Philips/Universal. Likewise (and here we set off the usual "who's a better conductor than who" debate), I can't imagine a Mahler symphony collection without Barbirolli's EMI performances of Symphonies 5 and 9, with the New Philharmonia and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestras, respectively. Both performances have their flaws--the Berlin/9th being their first experience with the score in the modern recording era, and it shows--but through both recordings, "Glorious John" earns his accolades with heart-on-the-sleave readings that convince listeners of their aptness. Barbirolli had, and has, his detractors, but unlike Bernstein, it would be difficult to accuse him of being garish or simply maudlin. And please, don't accuse me of Lenny-bashing; I put his later DG recordings of Symphonies 1, 5, 6, and 9 in the same library-essentials category (see what I mean about starting musical fist-fights?).
In sum, then, count this as a must-have addition to any Mahler collection that is strangely without it, as well as a good introduction to late-Romantic orchestral songs for those just venturing into that territory. There is supreme artistry here, and it should not be missed.
