Free Music Notes for Mahler: Symphonies 1-10; Das Lied von der Erde

Free Music Review: Not only Good...Great, Extraordinary, Magisterial, Definitive!
Hit: 5 Stars

I own 22 complete Mahler Symphony cycles (including the one under review here) and a plethora of individual issues dating back to Mengelberg's 4th with the Concertgebouw. Ok, so I am "a bit" nuts for Mahler, sue me and/or call Bellevue. The latter may be an appropriate destination for me, according to some of you, since I am proud to divulge that--I DO like Boulez' Mahler. (Where are the new "Das Klagende Lied" and the "Adagio" from the 10th? Huh?). But then, no composer invites--no, encourages--such a wide universe of interpretation for his works. The four opening measures of the Mahler 4th--as interpreted by Mengelberg and Boulez--intone the same musical notes but are as remote, emotionally, from each other as galaxies. (Or, as my wife likes to say: "about as close as a male ever comes to understanding a female"!)

Well, on to the item under consideration here: the Mahler 10 Symphonies and Das Lied von der Erde as performed by Gary Bertini and the K?lner Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester, on EMI.

The boys and girls of the Cologne Orchestra and Mr. Bertini have given us a Mahler cycle that will go down as one of the greatest achievements in recorded history. The performances rank among the top interpretations for each and every symphony. This set will be treasured by all who love Mahler's music and accorded the same esteem as the iconic cycles by Kubelik and Bernstein (New York). This is impassioned music making with tremendous virtuosity and ?lan. I am only sorry it has taken me so long to finally get to listen to it. Trust me. Listen to any of the 11CDs in this set. You'll need a diaper!

The sound captured by EMI is world-class and infinitely better than the better publicized Tennstedt and Rattle cycles on the same label. Only the Gielen on H?nssler, and the Chailly on Decca, have (marginally) better sound. If you own a state-of-the-art stereo system (i.e.: anything that doesn't have BOSE stamped on it) you will love the sonics--spacious, realistic and without hint of the dreaded digital glare. (I really can't understand the comments voiced on this site that the sound of these recordings is "compressed." I also listen to vinyl so I am quite familiar with the term "compression." A quick audition of any of the original CBS Bernstein/Mahler LPs is an unpleasant reminder of the wretched past of U.S. music reproduction. Please, don't get me going on RCA "Dynagroove.")

Quick! Buy this set before it's discontinued, as is the pattern with EMI. They do tend to nix recordings within minutes after release, except, of course, those by Sir (or is it Saint?) Simon (I did bow thrice in the direction of the UK and kissed my recent issue of Gramophone before I typed his name).

For you Mahlerites out-and-about: I have recently re-listened to cycles by Leif Segerstam on Chandos, Seiji Ozawa on Philips and all the Mahler recorded (all symphonies except 2 & 8) by James Levine for RCA. Folks, some really excellent performances to be heard in them so don't believe all the "toro-caca" that's been heaped at them over the years until you listen for yourselves. Other unexpected (but welcome) surprises have come via the Abravanel/Utah recordings and those by Inbal/Frankfurt. There IS a lot of life outside of Vienna and Berlin! I must confess that I've yet to hear any of the ongoing Gergiev or Zinman cycles. Poorly-rehearsed (some in the business claim "non-rehearsed") and performed Prokofiev and Shostakovich from the former, and dull-to-catatonic Beethoven (oh, gee, "new editions," Jos?, as in: "tah-tah-tah-plink"!) and Strauss from the latter, have dimmed my curiosity for the moment. I am sure they mean well, though.

Finally, if I may, let me mention another recent encounter with previously unknown (to me) recordings--Andr? Cluyten's Beethoven Symphonies with the Berlin Philharmonic (also EMI). Again, another monumental set that has greatness in every performance. (If you do also get this set, then splurge and get the 50-pack Pampers.)
