Later: very nice performances, good sound, but recorded very closely as most Stockfisch albums seem to be.
Leinsdorfâs debut recording with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, 1962, recorded by Lewis Layton for RCA.
Good day! Very interesting.
Welcome to the forum, @william87. Nice to have you with us.
OK, I listened to the Padmore/Argerich as well.
I have to say I prefer the Bostridge/Vogt. It feels like Argerich overpowers the tenor line. Also Padmoreâs voice is a bit too smooth, I donât feel the emotion especially in the first two pieces (Love Message and Warriorâs Foreboding) which require different styles.
Granted, the sound of a live recording isnât the same, but I still prefer the singing and piano in the Bostridge/Vogt.

works by Michael Daugherty, Roberto Sierra, Aaron Jay Kernis, and Gabriela Lena Frank.
You mean Uchida instead of Argerich?
Live recording from the Texas Music Festival Orchestra, Houston, in the Moores Opera House, University of Houston on 25 June 2022, of William Levi Dawsonâs Negro Folk Symphony (1934), a work that was premiered by Leopold Stokowski in Carnegie Hall in 1934. After a period of great praise, the work fell off the radar of classical music orchestras for 30 years until Stokowski made the first recording in 1963. Dawson never wrote another symphony, regrettably.
Sorry yes!
Both of these Schubert recordings were made at Wigmore Hall. The Uchida/Padmore is a live performance recording. Itâs the unmistakeable Wiggie sound. The micâs are suspended about 15 feet above the stage.
The Bostridge/Vogt was recorded when they did a recital, but it seems the recording was not done during the performance. Clearly Pentatone set up a much closer mic arrangement on the stage, plus 550 people missing. I think it was a location of convenience given Vogtâs health.
Well, listening to this yet again tonight. @stevensegal did not care for some of the music here. I liked it all very much and found the pieces selected by Ms. Bouska to be very interesting and engaging. As did my spouse and customary listening partner. In any event my review is now published HERE and Iâve donned by flame retardant suit. 
One of the most moving performances I know of (especially the Erlkonig and Harfenspieler). I havenât found the digital version of the LP yet (it was just called âGoethe Liederâ if I remember correctly). Luckily a selection of the songs are now included in various compilation sets. They still give me goosebumps!
Well, I give up. The only bit I agree with is that they were all women. Hereâs some real War & Peace that isnât Shostakovich, basically from the stat of the Thirty Years War to the Treaty of Utrecht.
Proper music, and some wonderful pieces from the Levant.
I havenât sampled Schubert lieder far and wide enough to have well-informed opinions about the quality of the performances, but Iâve always loved that Fischer-Dieskau album. Beyond that, I only have four others, some of which I enjoy more than others.
For example, I absolutely love Elly Amelingâs Philips collection âAn die Musikâ (Dalton Baldwin accomp), but find I donât care as much for a similar Jessye Norman collection, also on Philips (which, incidentally, includes Erlkonig, teaching me I much prefer hearing that piece sung by a baritone).
Beyond that, I have two recordings of Winterreise that I tend to alternate between: Mark Padmore and Kristian Bezuidenhout on Harmonia Mundi, and Peter Harvey and Gary Cooper on Linn. I have a slight preference for the Padmore performance, but much prefer the Linn recording. It has a more intimate, less âbig hallâ acoustic, suggesting the kind of chamber setting in which I imagine most of these were originally heard.
If this is the one, Presto sells it as a download.
Thanks - I also have this recording, which has a different pianist (Jörg Demus instead of Gerald Moore). It is also a fine recording.
Perhaps my favorite piece of music.
