Can the 6 cd DG box with Brahms' songs performed by Fischer-Dieskau/Barenboim be recommended?
Alternatives? Thank you.
A related question: what are considered to be the highlights of theFeldeinsamkeit
Brahms Lieder?
Good question! Obviously the "Vier ernste Gesänge" and "Die schöne Magelone" would be considered highlights, and there are a number of
the folksong settings that are very well-known. Beyond that I really
love the op. 32 songs, which don't build a classic "cycle" but are
very effective when sung in their entirety. The one really famous song
in the collection is "Wie bist du, meine Königin." The most recent
singers to record the entire op. 32 are Thomas Quasthoff and Andreas Schmidt, but I like DFD's first complete recording (with Gerald Moore)
the best. In addition, some highlights among individual songs would
be:
Von ewiger Liebe
Die Mainacht
Immer leiser wird mein Schlummer
