MAHLER / RIEHN: DAS LIED VON DER ERDE REVIEW

BRIGHTNESS AND IMMEDIACY

Album detail
Catalogue number: SU 4242-2

„There’s a bright immediacy to everything about this new version from Prague, conducted very capably by Petr Altrichter. Perhaps the focus of the recording is a bit too close at times, but it places the solo voices very much within the web of instrumental lines rather than superimposing them upon it … The recording seems to have been built around the mezzo Dagmar Pecková, who is certainly compelling, her rather insistent vibrato notwithstanding, though other soloists perhaps extract more pathos from the final pages.“
