I was very pleasantly surprised by this performance, with which I had previously been unfamiliar. Fischer-Dieskau is in fresher voice and seems happier with tempo than he would later in the more famous recording with Bernstein. The tenor, with whom I had also been unfamiliar, has the requisite heroic timber. Sounding very well, this may well be the most enjoyable version of Das Lied with baritone.
I hesitated before purchasing: could a male voice (Fishcer-Diskau) reach the sensitivity of famous mezzos? Diskau almost achieves this in the last song but - at least for me -not in the second and fourth. The English tenor is below the very best. The real achievement is provided by the Philharmonia under Kletzki; vivid and transparent playing of Mahler's wonderful score. Really fine acoustic pleasures. We still demand a wholly satisfying Lied from HDTT and Mahler Fourth by Kletzki would be welcome.
