A Charming Evening in Vienna
04/11/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is still the best recording of the Liebeslieder Walzer, especially if you like them by a vocal quartet. The performance is stylish, and the soloists, particularly the men, have gorgeous voices. If you prefer a chorus, Helmut Rilling's version on Acanta is beautiful, but hard to find. The recorded sound is very good."
An all-star cast but lacking in charm
Santa Fe Listener | Santa Fe, NM USA | 11/16/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)

"


The reviewer below has gone overboard about this starry recording. Despite the presence of Peter Schreier and Fischer-Dieskau, the male side of the quartet lacks charm, and although Fassbainder and Mathis make up for that, I didn't find myself smiling very often. This is supposed to be joyous music, the epitome of friends gathered around the parlor piano. Here it sounds like professional singers reading a score, very well to be sure, but without much love, which is the theme of these dances. I'll stick with the Marlboro recording on Sony and the historic EMI set that features the incomparable Dinu Lipati and Nadia Boulanger as pianists."
The Best of Brahms
Dorita S. Berger | Norwalk, CT. United States | 05/07/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Recording is about as good as it gets. Excellent singing; wonderful pianists. The best of Brahms tradition. Technically clean audio. Recommended. Can't beat Fassbaender nor Fischer-Dieskau!"
