Leonard Bernstein - Mahler: Das Lied Von Der Erde (1967) [2016 SACD Vintage Collection]

Bernstein's precious DECCA recording `` Earth Song '' is reprinted for the first time on SA-CD!
Marvel at the real sound quality that exceeds previous evaluations!

Bernstein recorded with the Vienna Philharmonic, who was exclusive to DECCA at the time, and decided to make two albums with DECCA as a barter for two opera recordings on his CBS label. . Combining the Mozart Symphony No. 36 and the Piano Concerto No. 15 together with the New York Philharmonic Mahler, who recorded at the time with the Vienna Philharmonic and DECCA, seems to have been shocking. Moreover, where Alto was originally used almost, and where it was recorded in a solo by F = Dieskau who had already gained world reputation at the time, this board has uniqueness. Then Alto immediately re-recorded it on CBS, but at the time, by recording a baritone version that was only a crescendo version, he introduced the appeal of this song widely. Bernstein will be appreciated in that regard. However, regarding the sound quality, especially in the CD age, the wide range was not enough to meet the specifications, or because the energy is approaching the high range, sometimes Bernstein's eccentric expression was added, It cannot be denied that the sound quality was difficult to hear. In this reprint, especially in the SA-CD format, which has ample dynamic range, the information was properly contained in the frame, resulting in a calm and solid sound as a whole. This difference was remarkable, so that he could clearly hear the sense of scale, facial expression and heat of performance that Bernstein wanted. Also, the texture of the voice has dramatically improved, increasing the sense of presence as if singing right in front of you. Originally, the reputation for the board was high, but with this reprint you will be able to feel the musicality of Bernstein far beyond that. This is a phenomenal performance. Please enjoy the sound quality of SA-CD which is different from conventional board including CD layer.
