Music reviews of Mahler Lieder: Des Knaben Wunderhorn (Great Recordings of the Century)

Music Review: Failure, an unsuccessful attempt at re-mastering this.
Rating: 1 Stars

This is a great failure and unsuccessful remastering by UK EMI of this very important chunk of European culture.
One should compare this CD with the GERMAN Electrola HMV Long-Play record brought out in the seventies and with the golden label marked as "Stereo".
The sonic differences are HUGE...!
On the Electrola, the orchestral sound is akin to a true modern stereophonic recording, in that, that it is wide spread behind the singer (D. Fisher-Dieskau) but not too far away. All the orchestra nuances are audible in a very harmonious manner - on both, the Philharmonia Orchestra and the Berlin Orchestra, and every vowel sung by D. Fischer-Diskau is clear and in focus.
UK EMI should have asked their German filial, Electrola, to send them the tape which they so excellently mastered in Germany and from that tape they should have produce the CD.
I have found (again) this Electrola LP (golden label marked stereo) on the internet - you know where - and garbed it presto; now I am in a position to tell you that the UK EMI CD is a total flop; it sound just like an old cleaned-up mono record from the fifties; narrow and tunnel-like in sound (not referring here to the artistry by which these lieder are executed).
My advise; if you really want to enjoy these lieder with Fischer Dieskau /Furtwangler and Kempe, search for the Electrola LP, the one with the golden Stereo label.
