Format:Audio CD
This collection of songs is a remarkable achievement. During the mid sixties Dame Janet Baker was at the peak of her power and obviously had complete rapport with Sir John Barbirolli. Of the three song cycles presented here, the Kindertotenlieder are perhaps the most outstanding, possibly due to their artistic cohesion. Dame Janet sings with poetry and power and yet at the same time she maintains an almost childlike vulnerability. At all times the orchestral accompaniment supports the singer and textures are beatifully preserved by the conductor. The acoustic is slightly dry, but this maintains the clarity of the scoring. This remains an unmissable contribution from two of Britains finest musicians.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime 15 Mar 2006
Format:Audio CD
I have recently updated all my Mahler symphonies on CD, but I realised that the box set I aquired did not contain either Das Leid von der erde or the song cycles. When I purchased this title I did not expect to be so moved by the singing of Dame Janet Baker whose emotional rendition is outstanding. The orchestrations by Mahler, and the interpretation of Barbirolli are exquisite, but Dame Janet is the star on this CD, her voice is so perfect, I would imagine that this is what angels sound like. This is one of the finest CDs I have ever bought and five stars does not do it justce.

4.0 out of 5 stars Glorious Janet Baker 8 Oct 2010
Format:Audio CD
No other singer is so able to capture and express these songs with such beauty as Janet Baker. Sadly the recording is somewhat harsh in places but with a little adjustment of the playing equipment this can be controlled although not eliminated. Never the less these performances are a must if you want to hear Mahlers songs at their best.
