These early electrical recordings show a very different Pablo Casals from the grunting old man most people remember. At the height of his technical and musical powers, he plays these mostly charming little encores and transcriptions with exquisite musicianship and breathtaking technical command that remains outstanding today. Whether you want to hear Chopin piano pieces or Wagner arias played on the cello is another issue; there is very little real cello music on this disc. But for what is here, one could hardly imagine better performances. The transfers are outstandingly lifelike, the program very generous (76:19), the price reasonable. --Leslie Gerber

Pablo Casals: Early Recrdings, a defective product.......2007-03-09

The Pablo Casals: Early Recordings 1925-1928 is a fine recording with a production defect. The playing is obviously great but near the end of the CD numerous tracks are missing. I returned the CD and was sent a replacement that had the same defect indicating that there was a production error.

It is good!!.......2005-10-09

I can't buy it in the Austerlia,and it is a good recording. I like it.

Amazing touch of personality.......2005-01-25

This album is perhaps one of my favorite. It features Pablo playing some very romantic and melancholic songs from various composers. It also features Pablo's amazing technique and his capacity of interpretation which gies beyond just reading and playing musical notes.
But also, the fact that this album was recorded so long ago, the original format was gramophone, I think it gives this album very important historical value, the background noise never interrupts the musics, but help listeners to get involved and place himself in the timeline.

Outstanding.......2003-10-20

funny, I hear plenty of "real" music coming from this CD ;)

amazing Casals.......2002-04-07

This recording is for anyone who has dismissed Casals as an ancient cellist who never truly mastered the technique of the instrument. These works are all admittedly light fluff, but Casals is truly dazzling, as both a technical virtuoso and a true musician. This is worth owning if you're a cellist or a Casals fan, but the low quality of the actual compositions should keep everyone else away.

excellent companion if you are learning to play the recorder.......2004-05-05

I came to this CD after buying the sheetmusic with the same title in order to learn to play the recorder. (I want to learn since my 5 year old daughter is learning the piano and I want to be able to accompany her.) I was happy to get the CD and hear how the pieces are intended to be played. Actually my favorite tunes (some of them are actually very catchy) are performed with the shawm, forerunner to the oboe. I had to find this out from a google search, since little information about the instruments are included with the liner notes, not even which instrument plays on which track. I can't even pronounce some of the names of the instruments. As far as the recording quality goes, yes it has a low signal, so you have to turn the volume way up; but once this is done, I hear no backround noise, hiss etc. Anyway, a great way to learn the recorder, sure beats nursery rhymes.

Good Performances, Bad Becording.......2003-02-25

This was my first introduction to music of the Middle Ages -- I purchased it to broaden my musical experience. The musicians and singers provide fine performances. However, the sound recording is very poor -- an occaisional pop is heard, as though it was recorded from an LP. Also, the signal level is too low (especially for a supposedly DDD recording). Increasing the volume makes the background noise annoyingly noticable along with a rumbling sound (as though from a turntable). Since, as another reviewer has observed, there are better collections available, I do not recommend purchasing this recording.

good effort, but..........2001-08-09

...this is hardly one of the best CDs out there. Those who think so have obviously not listened widely enough. I suppose its popularity stems from its title, which gives it away as an easy introduction to the period. Multiple preferable CDs exist for each of the areas it surveys: medieval dance (Istanpitta I and II), Cantigas de Santa Maria (multiple releases under that title), Llibre Vermell (the Sarband release; The Black Madonna), Minnesang (Wanderers' Voices), and trouvere/troubadour repertoire (too many). The bottom line: nice intro, but unnecessary if you want to do more than graze the surface of available talent.

Lively medieval song.......2000-08-17

I love early music, but some performers approach it so solemnly they take the life out of it. Sonus is one of those rare early music groups that actually sound like they have fun playing. They improvise brilliantly, the vocals by Hazel Ketchum are natural sounding rather than operatic, and their taste in material is wonderful. Hearing them, you know why people 700 years ago liked listening to music.

I listen to this one alot!.......2000-07-03

At least twice a week lately in fact :-) I find myself fascinated with music of this era and I am very glad I got this album. If you like early music please give the clips a listen and I think you will agree this album is worth buying!

Customer Reviews:

Was the young Maazel also the best one?.......2006-11-22

I started listening to this box set of recordings from 1957-62, the years when Maazel skyrockted in Europe as an American wunderkind, with low expectations. For me, Maazel joins Mehta and Ozawa as great young promises that were never fulfilled. Thoroughly disliked by orchestral musicians (a condition that seems to have changed now with the NY Phil.), eccentric in his phrasing, often too brash but alternating with dull slackness, he has noticeably declined over the decades. Hardly a single NY Phil. concert earns high praise from the city's major critics.

With all this in mind, I was amazed at the beauty of certain recordings here. First of all, DG's transfers of the old LPs are crystal clear, and secondly, the Berlin Phil. was coming into its own under Karajan at this time and plays with great impact and excitement. But there's good news in the conducting as well. Listen to this lively Beethoven Pastorale, full of good humor and sparkling detail, then compare it to Maazel's half-dead Beethoven Ninth on BMG. Or this ebulient Tchaikovsky Fourth, which is dynamic, balanced, and, once again, full of life. These two performances rank among the best I've heard in the modern era.

Mr. Richman covers the whole box in some detail below, and I generally agree that Maazel's flaw is rushing the music and sounding too brusque. His Beethoven Fifth suffers from those faults in the first and last movements. The Brahms Third, after a terrific start and two good inner movements, turns rushed and business-like in the finale. The accompanying Tragic Over. is back in form, however. And so is the highly individual Beethoven Consecration of the House Over., which emerges as a newly dramatic piece in Maazel's hands.

We move on to almost a complete Schubert symphony cycle (minus the First and Ninth), rare repertoire from a major conductor in the late Fifties and early Sixties. Treading into prime Beecham territory, Maazel turns out to be terrific, full of energy and force but also delicate when called for, only lacking Beecham's unique affability in this music. The Berliners play much better than Beecham's post-war Royal Phil., however, Where Mr. Richman hears rushing, I hear spontaneity and verve (admittedly, some movements, like the finale of the Fourth Sym., go at a breathless Presto). If Maazel had kept evolving, he would have replaced Guido Canteli, whose propulsive neo-Tosanini style was close to this.

Next we get three Mozart symphonies, the Jupiter plus two miniatures, Sym. 1 and 28. Maazel's Mozart is considerably more forceful than his Schubert, and for me it crosses the line (as Toscanini did) into being charmless and sharply attacked. There's no doubting the skill and ensemble of the orhcestra, however, which is crisp and starched, but not to the degree that Szell, for example, demanded.

The Mendelssohn Italian Sym. is miked very closely, with lots of attention to the woodwinds. It sounds a treat, as British critics say, and Maazel isn't driven. There are dozens of excellent readings of this symphony, and his ranks among them. I am of two minds about the Reformation, however, which has been available paired with the Franck D minor on a DG Originals disc. In the past I've found its briskness and lack of religiosity refreshing, but I can see why others find it emotionally pinched. As alternatives, Munch is more buoyant on RCA, and Karajan offers more grandeur on DG.

We get three versions of Romeo and Juliet, from Berlioz (43 min. of orchestral excerpts), Prokofiev (Suite #2 and one number from Suite #1), and Tchaikovsky. The Berlioz is supply phrased and played with intensity--it's worthy to stand beside Giulini on EMI and Bernstein on Sony, but of course one wants the whole work. Maazel wnet on to record the whole Prokofiev ballet with the Cleveland Orch. on Decca, but these few excerpts sound fresher to me, less studied. I've already enthused over the Tchaikovsky Fourth, and Romeo and Juliet is similarly tangy and alert, no dawdling or swooning. However, the world has many fine recordings of R & J compared to Tchaikovsky Fourths.

The remainder of the set consists of light classics: a vigorous, detailed Rimsky Capriccio Espagnole that works well enough, a Pines of Rome that does the same (this piece, however, requires blockbuster sonics to even remotely catch my attention), a Mussorgksy Night on Bald Mountain that's zippy and lacking in atmosphere. Finally we leave Berlin for Paris and Britten's Young Person's Guide, which seems thrown in for no particular reason except to acquaint us with Maazel's speaking voice as narrator. He's as clipped and efficient as his conducting style--and just as cool--lacking anything close to Bernstein's cozy warmth.

All told, you would have no doubt that a major conductor is at work here. Would that we could say the same for the older Maazel. I'd recommend this box set to anyone who wants to hear him at his best. It contains more good recordings than celebrated Original Masters sets devoted to Fricsay and Markevitch.

A Young Lorin Maazel.......2005-06-09

The most recent batch of DG's "Original Masters" box sets boasts several titles that will leave classical collectors rejoicing. While "Lorin Maazel: Complete Early Berlin Philharmonic Recordings 1957-1962" is not as essential as the Askenase or Schneiderhan releases (see my review of the latter), it is a welcome edition nonetheless. Maazel was only in his late 20s when he made these recordings, which include performances of Mozart (Syms 1, 28 & 41), Beethoven (Syms 5 & 6, etc), Schubert (Syms 2-8), Brahms (Sym 3 & the Tragic Overture), Mendelssohn (Syms 4 & 5), and more. Overall Maazel's readings are fiery and quickly paced, causing many critics to dismiss these recordings at the time of their initial releases as the brash, overly enthusiastic statements of a boy conductor. This is just criticism for much of the Schubert, the Beethoven 5th, Tchaikovsky 4th, and Night on Bald Mountain. However, I personally enjoy the majority of these performances. Additionally, the excerpts from Berlioz's Romeo & Juliet are quite lovely (and better than the other R&J's contained here -- Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev), the Pastoral is refreshingly brisk, and the Capriccio Espagnol is a personal favorite (I previously had it via DG's "Eternal Russia" collection). Also this earlier account of Respighi's Pines of Rome is quite good (though his later Decca Legends version outshines it) but I could do without the very pronounced bird calls towards the end of the Janiculum section. Something else this set could live without is the Britten Young Person's Guide, which Maazel narrates and performs with the ONRTF Paris (hello, not Berlin). A better title to include would have been his account of Harold in Italy, recently included on the DG box set "The Berlioz Experience" (I believe it fits the "Early Berlin" criteria better than the said Brittten does). As is, this is a delightful collection, showcasing the blossoming talents of a conductor who continues to dazzle audiences from the podium nearly fifty years later.

A great voice in perfect health........2002-10-02

Collectors of great voices are wise to keep an eye on the Testament catalogue. Their issues derive from EMI originals, a company that generally followed the policy, "Get the best artists and provide them with the best recording techniques".

EMI's eminent producer Walter Legge spotted the Bavarian bass baritone Hans Hotter, when he went to Vienna soon after WW2, signed him up, and began recording him in that war damaged city. On this CD are heard records deriving from those early post war years, and others made in Berlin and London extending up to 1951. It was a time when the great voice was in perfect health, a little hollow perhaps but entirely free of the wobble that sometimes afflicted it above the stave in later years. And it recorded perfectly.

Hans Hotter, in his early 30s, has the measure of all the lieder here. Terror, enchantment, wonder, restlessness, regret - whatever the feeling, Hotter registers it perfectly. Try to hear the twin Schumann songs (tracks 5 and 6). The voice was large, and Hotter often scaled it down to a beautiful mezza voce for lieder The only warning to issue is that almost all the music here is slow moving. 79 minutes of it at one sitting might not be wise. So much slow, mezza voce singing prompted someone in my household to comment, "He sounds as if he is half asleep".

The contents include lieder recordings from Vienna, Berlin and London. Sadly, the Wagner excerpts are all truncated - the "Die Meistersinger" monologues because masters of two of the four sides disappeared in transit from Vienna to London, and only the first half of the "Das Rheingold" item was recorded. Three Handel arias are included, one of them sung in an Italian that manages to avoid making "questo" sound like "qvesto".

Alan Blyth provides the notes, and full texts are provided in German and English.

Must Have for Any Jussi Fan.......2001-03-11

It takes a few weeks to get this CD, but it's well worth the wait to hear the earliest recordings of Bjorling. Many of the cuts are in Swedish and include not only opera but operetta and other lighter fare. Though his voice was glorious at any age, it is wonderful to hear how he sounded at the beginning of his career. One real treat is some 1920 recordings of the childhood Jussi with his his two brothers, Olle and Gosta. In Psalm No. 4, the fine vocal ability of the nine year old Jussi presages what will become one of the most splendid tenor voices in opera history.
