Mahler-Des Knaben Wunderhorn and Berg Wozzeck Excerpts
Mahler: Janet Baker and Germaine Evans Wyn Morris conducts The London Symphony Orchestra
Berg: Soprano Phyllis Curtin Eric Leinsdorf conducts the The Boston Symphony Orchestra
"The Mahler recording derives from 4-track World Tape Club sources, in excellent sound that allows both Baker and Evans full vocal sway while the color elements, like the E-flat clarinet, piccolo, tympani, snare and bass drums, crash cymbals, and three bassoons make their effect, among others, evident. The No. 8 "Trost im Ungluck" makes an immediate sensation, rife--as is No. 5 "Lab Des Hohen Verstandes"--with materials to supply a host of Kurt Weill songs. The No. 5 projects harmonies I find redolent with Grofe and Copland! Viennese and pastoral at once, the swagger of the rhythms is infectious, irreverent, and earthy at once."
