¡Mahler: Symphony "Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth)"
¡Fritz Wunderlich (tenor)
Description
[Machine Translation] 100 years after Mahler's death, a rare recording is now available for the first time! The legendary tenor Wunderlich and the most outstanding singer in the history of recordings, Fischer-Dieskau, sing solo in the Cripps' "Ode to the Earth" with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, recorded live at the Musikverein during the Vienna Art Week on June 14, 1964. The great tenor Wunderlich, who died young, is best known for EMI's Klemperer/Philharmonia Orchestra recording of "Ode to the Earth," which was made in February 1964 and July 1966. The even-numbered movements sung by alto or baritone are overwhelmingly sung by alto, but the most famous performance by a baritone is Fischer-Dieskau's DECCA recording with Bernstein and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra (1966). A tape of their performance of "Ode to the Earth" has been discovered. The engineer of Emil Berliner Studios faithfully restored and restored the copy from the original ORF (Austrian Broadcasting Corporation) tape, which was owned by the family of conductor Cripps. The content more than makes up for the sound quality.
