Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde
RecommendedSarah Connolly (mezzo-soprano), Robert Dean Smith (tenor)
Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, Vladimir Jurowski
[Connolly] makes the perfect case for pulling the lustrous stops out at each death-transcending release in the ‘Farewell’; Mahler may mark the dynamics at a lower level, but the emotion is irresistible.... — More…

Hans Sommer: Orchestral Songs
RecommendedMojca Erdmann, Anke Vondung, Mauro Peter, Benjamin Appl, Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, Guillermo García Calvo
The RundfunkSinfonieorchester Berlin sounds rich and glossy, with four strong soloists. Yet I was repeatedly left with the sensation of a composer trying too hard. — More…

Strauss singing doesn't come much better than this. No doubt the composer himself, with his love of the soprano voice, would have been enthralled by Isokoski's glorious singing. He might also... — More…

Rundfunkchor Berlin & Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, Marek Janowski
Janowski's conducting is crisp and fleet-footed, shaping the music naturally and fluently...[Dohmen] is a warm anti-hero, but too soft-grained to sound demonically desperate. Matti Salminen's... — More…

Schoenberg: Gurrelieder RecommendedSiegfried Jerusalem, Susan Dunn, Brigitte Fassbaender, Hermann Becht, Peter Haage, Hans Hotter
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Städtischer Musikverein Düsseldorf, Riccardo Chailly
This vast cantata, a direct descendant of Wagnerian music-drama, was for the turn-of-the- century musical scene the ultimate gorgeous sunset. Schoenberg's forces are, to put it mildly, extravagant.... — More…
