      Customer Reviews:

      5 out of 5 stars The best version of Zemlinsky's masterpiece.......2005-09-24

      The Lyric Symphony is actually a song cycle for soprano and baritone on the same order of difficulty and sumptuousness as Maherl's Das Lied von der Erde. The closest it's ever gotten to a great performance, in my experience, is this recording. Both soloists do heroic work with their fiendishly tough parts, and the engineers give Chailly vivid, dramatic sound. There is also a budget Lyric Sym form Michael Gielen that I admire, but this one I consider indispensable.

      5 out of 5 stars The magnificence of Zemlinsky.......2004-08-22

      If you know Zemlinsky only because he was Schoenberg's teacher --- or perhaps because he is the last composer in the alphabet --- the be prepared to be dazzled. The "Lyrische Symphonie" (written in 1922-1923) should be considered one the major works of the first half of the 20th century, even if you have never heard of it.

      The comparisons between this work and Mahler's "Das Lied von der Erde" are unavoidable (even Zemlinsky himself saw the similarity), but this is in no way a simple Mahlerian clone. Zemlinsky's voice is distinct and original, and the poetry of Rabindranath Tagore (which works pretty well in a German translation) has its own brand of mysticism that sets it apart from the Das Lied's content. After completing this work, Zemlinsky began composing works in a much more sparse style --- this is basically the last of his big orchestral works that could be considered part of the German Romantic tradition.

      If listening to Tagore in german is interesting, then listening to Langston Hughes is absolutely mind-boggling. Zemlinsky took some of the poems of Hughes and those of some of the other Harlem Renassaisance black poets and set them to music in 1929. Seven poems in approximately 18 minutes --- "Symphonisches Gesänge" is a no-nonsense work whose themes threw up red flags all over the place when the Nazis came to power 4 years later. Condemned as Degenerate Art by the Nazis, this work fell into a void for almost 50 years --- it was perfomed once in 1935, again in 1964, and was finally published in 1977.

      Riccardo Chailly has championed Zemlinsky's music for quite some time now, and once again he gives an interpretation and performance that may help put Zemlinsky back on the musical map once and for all. Make no mistake about it --- Zemlinsky is one of the great composers of the 20th century, and these two pieces display entirely his mastery of his craft.

      4 out of 5 stars Beautiful Orquestral Textures.......2001-10-16

      Maybe this is the better Lyrische Symphonie available. Beautiful orchestral textures, superb soloists. Willard White impressive in Symphonische Gesänge, Chailly strong in both.

                  5 out of 5 stars Still One of the Great Schumann Recordings.......2004-10-29

                  Andras Schiff demonstrated his empathy and understanding of Schumann's most accomplished solo piano music in this riveting CD recorded nearly 9 years ago for Teldec. It truly ranks along with his Beethoven piano concerti Teldec recordings as among his finest in the 1990s. I have heard other recordings of the Symphonische Etuden and Davidsbundlertanze from the likes of Brendel and Pollini, to name but a few, but Schiff's performances remain the most compelling to me. His performances of both the Blumenstuck and Arabeske are splendid too. All of these demonstrate his keen musical scholarship coupled with his brilliant playing which I believe is possessed with much emotional as well as intellectual intensity. Without question, Schiff is one of our most thoughtful, yet still emotionally riveting, pianists.

                  5 out of 5 stars revised review.......2001-04-08

                  A year later, I'd like to add a few words. Of course one's choice for a piano cd depends on what you already have and what exactly you want. If you want the coupling of Davidsbundlertanze and the Etudes, this is the top choice. But if you want one or the other: for the Davidsbundlertanze, I recommend Boris Berezovsky, one of the very top young pianist alive right now; if you want to hear the etudes the way they would sounds if God performed them, buy Richter's performance. By the way, I no longer trust Classic Cd magazine's top 50 list.

                  5 out of 5 stars one of the top 50 classic cd's of all time.......2000-06-12

                  the reason i bought this cd was because it was on classic cd magazine's list of the top 50 classic cd's of all time, and my love of schumann's piano music. given this expecation, i was not disappointed. the cd contains selections from schumann's finest works for solo piano. schiff reveals himself on this cd as a true scholar of schumann. he really understands the music on both an interpretative and technical level. schiff never takes center stage himself but just presents the music as it is. the recording of "symphonic etudes" in particular is among the very best recorded versions available. this cd is highly recommended for people interested in schumann's solo piano music. other very fine schumann cd's are argerich's "fantasy in C major" and the horowitz I from the great pianists of the 20th century series. also, rachmaninoff's recording of schumann's "carnaval" is a classic recording, which is on the rachmaninoff cd from the great pianists series.
