Baker's studio recording of Vier ernste Gesänge is -- Yowza! -- really, really good. What do you think of this BBC recital, soulpope?

Bought this a decade ago as part of 20+ factory sealed BBC Legends sell-off CD`s for 5 Euro each (those were the days ....) and this CD was not on my "high expectations" list - turns out that Janes Baker`s voice was perfectly suited to Brahms Lieder as her recital has a natural flow and she never comes even close to overdoing things .... warlmy recommended ....

HutchFan Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) NP: Sibelius: Symphony No. 1; Swan of Tuonela / Stokowski, National PO (Columbia/Sony) Yesterday evening, I listened to Barbirolli's recording of Sibelius' First with The Hallé Orchestra. The two conductors' interpretations are very different. But I love them both. Ironically, Stokowski's version strikes me as the more youthful reading. (He was in his 90's when the recording was made.) When Stokowski's at his best, he conveys an unbelievable sense of color, momentum, and vitality. This Sibelius 1 embodies those qualities. Barbirolli, on the other hand, brings a sense of struggle to the music, imbuing it with a sense of hard-won victory. His reading always makes me think that the story's being told by sagacious old man, like the hero in Tennyson's "Ulysses." Or at least that's how I like to think about this stuff.
