Free Music Review: Greatly overlooked Dichterliebe
Hit: 5 Stars
I full heartedly agree with Tommy Nielsen. The main reason to buy this double CD is for Schumann's Dichterliebe. Fischer-Dieskau and Horowitz created chemistry on that night which is unsurpassed by any other. Yes! You can hear coughing on occasion and the other performances are C to B averages at best, but the Dichterliebe is a solid A+! And it is a live recording after all.
My uncle bought this double LP as a Christmas present for my father back when it first came out. It was recorded in celebration of the 85th anniversary of Carnegie Hall. That concert night featured Leonard Bernstein and members of the NYP, Isaac Stern, Rostropovich, Yehudi Menuhin, and of course, Dieskau and Horowitz! Bach's double violin concerto in D minor is unpolished with Stern and Menuhin and the entire cast singing Handel's "Hallelujah" from the Massiah at the end is a bit much and over the top.
Still, it was indeed a historical night and Dieskau and Horowitz' performance of Schumann's Dichterliebe made it so. A must have for anyone who loves this piece or wishes to fall in love with it.
