5.0 out of 5 stars Superb performances combining poetry with power., 6 Jun 2001
By A Customer
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
By Mr. S. Hugo (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars for Songs of a Wayfarer, 3 Mar 2004
By Gontroppo "Music and Theology Lover" (Bathurst, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
The Songs of a Wayfarer song cycle is a great entry point into Mahler, and also into classical song. The tunes are simple [yet profound] and easy to comprehend.

Mahler's orchestration of his song cycle is exquisite. It is interesting to listen to Janet Baker's performance of the cycle with Geoffrey Parsons accompanying on piano and hear it both ways.

I think the version with piano only has greater subtlety in both soloist and accompanist's performances, but this is nevertheless a wonderful performance.

Other works that provide a great entry point into Mahler incldue the Resurrection Symphony [I love the generously packaged Kaplan version on Conifer] and the Song of the Earth.
