Editorial Reviews

This set holds two treasures, one of them flawed. Grace Hoffman sings with genuine feeling, but neither she nor Helmut Melchert is the kind of major singer Mahler's music requires. Still, the conducting in this work is so comprehending and passionate that it makes for a fascinating performance, one that will appeal particularly to listeners who already know the work. While the orchestra (founded by conductor Hans Rosbaud) wasn't the most sumptuous sounding in the world, the kind of playing the conductor got from it in the Bruckner, combined with his superb understanding of the music, made for a memorable performance, well worth the price of the set in itself. The Mahler texts are included, a nice touch at this price. --Leslie Gerber
