For the live recording, many instances of the audience and stage noise having nothing to do with the music (audience coughing, the unwrapping of candy wrappers, chair squeaks, etc., and on stage, noisy page-turning, a bang from an item being dropped to the stage, etc., plus myriad miscellaneous clicks, clacks, thumps, and bumps) were removed as much as possible, instance by instance, always exercising the greatest care not to compromise the music itself in any way. Further, a number of tape dropouts were repaired, imperceptibly. The recording itself is beautifully clear, perfectly capturing (in addition to the above-mentioned noises) the exquisite, tonally luscious playing that Horenstein elicited from the orchestra, in a glowing interpretation that fully supports his reputation today as one of our greatest Mahler conductors on record. The one small liability in this otherwise well balanced live recording is that the two soloists are caught from a slightly distant perspective--a commercial recording would certainly have mic'ed them closer up. Except for this fact, the sound quality of this live recording could easily be mistaken for an excellent commercial recording. Nevertheless, the soloists in this \"symphony of songs\" are always fully audible, captured in much the same perspective in which the audience would have heard them in the hall. Especially treasurable is Swedish contralto Birgit Finnilä 's delicate but always audible soft singing of the greatest tenderness, and American tenor James King is caught in fine form, delivering a vigorous but also expressive performance under Horenstein's leadership, which brought out the best in both of these fine soloists. One is also struck by the exotic color added by the mandolin in the final movement, as caught with such clarity in this live recording. We believe that this splendid live performance easily belongs to the handful of greatest recorded performances of this rather frequently recorded work, attesting to Horenstein's rightful place among the great Mahler conductors who made classic recordings of it, alongside the likes of Bruno Walter, Otto Klemperer, and Leonard Bernstein. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe four Wagner Preludes here were sourced from a stereo tape released by Tandberg\/SDS, incorrectly labeled as being a recording of the Bamberg Symphony conducted by Jascha Horenstein. However, the correct attribution of these fine stereo recordings is to that orchestra conducted by German conductor Heinrich Hollreiser, recorded in 1959. We are grateful to Misha Horenstein for bringing this correct information to our attention. In restoring these items, great care has been taken to preserve the freshness and spaciousness of the original sound. A slight but muddying peak resonance was evened out in the mid-bass and a small boost was made on the very bottom end, opening up a somewhat cramped feeling at climaxes to a much more natural sounding state, the goal always being to get back as close as possible to what occurred at the recording session. The wide dynamic range heard here is original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes by John Haley - Harmony Restorations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopyright © \u0026amp; ℗ High Definition Tape Transfers 2020, including all compilation, transfer, remastering and restoration aspects\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e1 Das Trinklied vom Jammer der Erde 8:42\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e2 Der Einsame im Herbst 9:29\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e3 Von der Jugend 3:10\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e4 Von der Schönheit 7:23\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e5 Der Trunkene im Frühling 4:36\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e6 Der Abschied 28:43\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e7 Lohengrin Prelude to Act I 8:39\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e8 Lohengrin Prelude to Act III 2:59 \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e9 Die Meistersinger Overture 8:36\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e10 Tristan und Isolde Prelude 10:43\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"60\" width=\"664\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/Mahler_Das_Lied_von_der_Erde_-_Wagner_music_Horenstein_a12f10e1-79d2-42ec-be54-4b2a365c314f.pdf?v=1589067434\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/download_liner_notes_735eceed-201e-4f62-b888-d1fed8b53db5_medium.jpg?3217511782796413000\" style=\"float: none;\" height=\"65\" width=\"229\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hdtt-samples.s3.amazonaws.com\/Mahler%2BDas%2BLied%2Bvon%2Bder%2BErde+Wagner%2BOvertures+%2BPreludes+Horenstein+sample.flac\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/download_Sample_24_96_ce2d27c7-5f84-4e02-8a32-ac81bd7164a7_medium.jpg?1320818084609747374\" height=\"65\" width=\"229\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hdtt-samples.s3.amazonaws.com\/Handel%2BOvertures%2BRichter%2BLPO+sample.flac\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlay Sample Tracks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/hdtt-music-player.s3.amazonaws.com\/Mahler+Das+Lied+von+der+Erde+-+Wagner+Overtures+%26+Preludes+-+Horenstein\/audioplayer.html\" border=\"0\" height=\"341\" width=\"525\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"High Definition Tape Transfers","offers":[{"title":"24\/352.8 DXD PCM Flac Digital Download","offer_id":33588495581315,"sku":"HDTT10410","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD128 Direct Stream Digital Download","offer_id":33588495614083,"sku":"HDTT10409","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD64 Direct Stream Digital Download","offer_id":33588495646851,"sku":"HDTT10408","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\/192 PCM Flac Digital Download","offer_id":33588495679619,"sku":"HDTT10407","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\/96 PCM Flac Digital Download","offer_id":33588495712387,"sku":"HDTT10406","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold Premium Compact Disc Double album","offer_id":45644895650012,"sku":"HDTT19531","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Regular Premium Compact Disc Double album","offer_id":45645342605532,"sku":"HDTT19532","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Budget Compact Disc Double album","offer_id":45645616513244,"sku":"HDTT19533","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/products\/Mahler-Das-Lied-von-der-Erde---Wagner-music-Horenstein-Cover.png?v=1603541007","url":"https:\/\/www.highdeftapetransfers.ca\/ja\/products\/mahler-das-lied-von-der-erde-wagner-overtures-preludes-horenstein","provider":"High Definition Tape Transfers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
