      2 out of 5 stars Inadequate sonics, old-fashioned interpretations.......2007-05-15

      Very disappointing. I have many records and older CDs which cannot be judged by today's standards of reproduction, but these CDs are simply unacceptable. Moreover, Raucheisen's piano accompaniments are very slow and ponderous - it is not necessary to invoke Gerald Moore to find them inadequate. There are examples of legendary singers, which may be of some interest, which is why I give this collection 2 stars. Apart from that, I wouldn't give it one. (I sold it to a local used books and music store for a fraction of what I paid.)

            Deutsche Grammophon is lucky in that World War II didn't slow classical recordings in Germany as it did in the United States but stimulated them: It was essential for wartime morale. Thus, if you can get past any repugnance related to these recordings' genesis, there's a huge amount to enjoy. There's a disc of lieder by all the prewar greats (Franz Volker, Tiana Lemnitz, Erna Berger, and Heinrich Schlusnus), a disc of Wagner featuring young Hans Hotter, opera and operetta performances by Berger and Helge Roswaenge, and a disc showing how the German singers gave Italian opera a distinctively Nordic but highly communicative edge. The set is crowned by a complete Winterreise that was recorded by Peter Anders in 1945 (and sounds it): the cultivated tenor's anguished performance embodies a Germany facing the abyss. --David Patrick Stearns

              4 out of 5 stars Wrong language done right........2006-11-10

              Don't let the wrong language deter you from this recording. The sound shows its age a bit, but the performance is vital and impressive. Lorenz Fehenberger (my favorite Lohengrin) is Riccardo and sings it brilliantly, with grace and passion. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau is Renato, and he convinces that his "wrong" voice is actually correct. You may not know Anny Schlemm, but that is your loss. She is fabulous as Amelia. Fritz Busch holds the whole thing together, the recording made near the end of his life. His attention to orchestral details and to shaping each scene show in number after number. A great recording not to be missed.

              5 out of 5 stars Fritz Busch's final opera triumph.......2001-05-24

              Honestly I roared with laughter reading the cover notes of Fritz Busch, the conductor of this recording. The notes claim that being the general music director at the Semper Opera in Dresden, he `gave several good performances of opera's by E van Suchs'. In German you can read that he succeeded masterly the first performance opera tradition carried out by E. van Such. Now what is correct - and who the heck is E. van Such(s)? He is nobody. Absolutely nobody. Fritz Busch took over in Dresden after Fritz Reiner, the successor of - Ernst von Schuch, who conducted the world premieres of Richard Strauss' Salome, Elektra and Rosenkavalier in 1905, 1907 and 1911. May I as kindly as possible advise Gala to reconsider this cover rubbish and issue another cover text by someone who has the necessary competence to render such (Such?) information. In this concert performance of Un Ballo in Maschera we listen to among others a soprano who began as a contralto, Walburga Wegner, and a contralto who also sang soprano roles, Martha Mödl who was the marvellous first Isolde in Bayreuth after WW II (with Ramón Vinay). Both provide vast horizons of singing, Wegner with an incredibly equal soprano from bottom to pitch, and Mödl with the compassionate expression that was hers. My first listening gave me the impression of Lorenz Fehenberger as a typical German sob-tenor trying to pretend Italian. The second listening, however, revealed to me a fascinating voice with which he `acts' audibly. Anny Schlemm has the right spirit for Oscar which Swedish Birgit Nordin took up just few years after this recording when the Stockholm opera performed the opera in Swedish with Ragnar Ulfung and Aase Nordmo Løvberg. To me, unfortunately, the very young Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau is a major disappointment singing mechanically as if he kept his head in the score instead of having the score in his head. But the triumph of the performance is with Fritz Busch who lets the music reveal any little nuance in the atmosphere of a royal murder-to-be. Having listened to this recording no one can be in doubt that the musical leadership of exactly this opera which he conducted as a guest at Carl Ebert's Charlottenburger Oper in Berlin, and which confirmed Verdi's definitive success in Germany, reaches its climax in this final opera performance that the now Argentinian citizen living in New York carried out in his native country before his untimely death just 7 months later.

              5 out of 5 stars A great day in Cologne preserved on CD. Thank you Gala!.......1999-08-25

              Are you aching to hear Verdi's "A Masked Ball" sung in German, but you don't have the means to travel to Germany or Austria for a performance. Or, do you have what you consider is the "definitive recording" of this opera and you're looking for a interesting diversion. Well, here's a bargain for you. An opera written in Italian, originally about intrigue in the Swedish court, which is frequently performed with a Boston-setting (as it is on this recording), and sung here in German. It doesn't get any more internationally head-spinning than this. But, if you want to listen to what may be the last recording by the legendary, opera conductor Fritz Busch (who co-founded the Glyndebourne Festival), with a 25 year-old Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Martha Modl in her prime (and not singing Wagner), then this recording is for you. And that's not all. You get three bonus tracks (20 minutes) from Verdi's "La Forza del Destino" also sung in German with Artur Rother conducting featuring renowned, German baritone Heinrich Schlusnus and acclaimed, Danish tenor Helge Rosvaenge. Plus you get a lengthy interview with Fritz Busch, unfortunately it's in German. But if you're not a "collector" or a financially-frustrated traveler, the question remains should you buy this recording? Yes. This is a great little undiscovered treasure. Busch's tempos really bring out the drama and excitement of the music. The singing is very good, and not just from the big names. But don't forget the big names. Modl's first appearance as the fortune-teller is powerful and arresting (CD1, Track 8). This 1951 recording sounds remarkably good.

              5 out of 5 stars ALL are right.......2007-06-07

              All 4 of the customer reviews, of Vol. 3, are very right. The REAL "trick", though, is to try to find the other Volumes of the EMI, total reissue. Sometimes some of the other Volumes are available from classical sellers/auctioneers, such as Lawrence Jones/Polyphony, and others. In any case, this is one of the penultimate collections of the great EMI archives, and unmatchable .. anywhere else.

              5 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE GREAT TREASURE-HOUSES OF THE GRAMOPHONE.......2007-04-18

              This series, produced by EMI in the days of LPs, is one of the great achievements of the gramophone - they rightfully belong up there with the Decca Ring, the EMI Callas series, and any other candidates you care to name. Together they provide a truly comprehensive survey of singing right through the age of recording up to the early days of the LP. Sadly, to the best of my knowledge, only Volumes 3 & 4 have appeared on CD - the very earliest era of recording and the period up to the introduction of electrical recording methods that were originally on Volumes 1 and 2 really deserve to be heard again.

              Volume 3, the collection under discussion here, covers the period from 1926-1939. This was a veritable Golden Age of Singing - in Wagner it was the era of Leider, Schorr and Melchior; the Italian School included the likes of Gigli, Muzio and Pinza and so it goes on through a broad representative range of French, English and Slavic singers. One of the great strengths of this series is that the best-known singers tend to be represented by less familiar repertoire, so it's more unlikely that collectors will duplicate material they already know well. And, of course, there is a huge range of other singers you probably won't have heard and some you may well not even have heard of. They all have something to tell us, though, about the times in which they worked, the styles of singing that were current then and the high standards that prevailed in the inter-war years. In some ways, the most surprising thing here is the strength in depth of the less familiar Schools, the French and the Anglo-American. It is good to be reminded just how good the likes of Georges Thill, Eide Norena or Pierre Bernac were - or from the UK, Isobel Baillie, Walter Widdop and Heddle Nash. Then there are the discoveries like the delightfully named Lulu Mysz-Gmeiner in a Brahms folksong or the black American, Roland Hayes, who sings Monteverdi with piano accompaniment totally unauthentically by today's standards, but with an attractive reedy tenor voice that reminds me a lot of the underrated Wilfred Brown.

              This set, now available from Testament, is a real treasure-trove. The transfers are all well-researched and of the highest quality. Anyone with an interest in how the art of singing has evolved over the last hundred years or so, or who just has a passion for glorious singing, should snap up this set of CDs - especially this volume as it displays a Golden Age of Singing.

              5 out of 5 stars Exquisite collection.......2006-02-14

              Dozens of outstanding singers from the early 20th century ordered by school. The Italian School, the German, Eastern-European, Aglo-American, etc. It's a marvelous experience to listen to these singers and to hear the differences that existed in singing styles before these differences virtually disappeared and we ended up with one cosmopolitan style. There are some wonderful gems in this set, like a German version of Mi chiamino Mimi and Largo al factotum in English. Worth every penny.

              5 out of 5 stars The EMI Record of Singing.......2002-04-23

              An installment in the ultimate collection of opera and concert singer recordings. If you really want to know how the great singers of the first half of the 20th century -- virtually all of them who recorded -- sang, this is the set. By 1926 (the beginning date here) the electrical (as opposed to acoustic) recording system was in general use. Unlike the recording horn, the microphone was able to capture a pretty faithful impression of the singers sound and style, including dynamic nuances and tone shadings. Many of these singers were near the end of a long career, and had studied with the great bel canto teachers. There's a huge variety of music here, and huge variety of singing styles. Makes you realize how similar everyone sounds today -- the cult of tyrannical conductors and the mass media marketing has caused today's singers to sing everything the same way: almost all the sopranos today sing "Un Bel Di" or an art song the same way, for example.

              So fork out your money and buy this set while you can. Soon the mass media will have stamped out the few remaining classical music radio starions and the only way you'll be able to hear good music is by listening to your own collection.

              5 out of 5 stars essential survey.......2000-01-14

              Well, it does seem a lot of money for one CD! In fact, although Amazon's resident typo gremlin counts it as one CD, it's really a box set of 10 CDs and as soon as I can, I'll be buying it! I have had the LP box set of this survey of world singing for many years and it, plus Volume 4 (which is on the EMI label on 7 cds) gives a fantastic summary of the greatest singers of the first half of the 20th Century. They are divided by singing category -- from soprano through to bass -- and Testament, which has done a great job in bringing from darkness some of the gems of the EMI back-catalogue, have brought us here one of the greatest singing compilations ever assembled. It's an aural history of immeasurable value -- 10 discs of this quality is a bargain! Anthony Clarke Sydney Australia
