Accompanied by Sir John Barbirolli conducting the Halle Orchestra, this is Mahler 'as good as it gets'. Baker makes the 'Kindertotenlieder' as poignant as any singer ever has. Her performance of the 'R?ckert Lieder' (this time with the New Philharmonia Orchestra under Barbirolli's tender leadership) is staggeringly beautiful: "Ich atmet' einem linden Duft" floats in the ether of Mahler's most tender writing. Dame Janet Baker, that name is legend in Mahler, and one could never doubt the towering artistry of her singing here, especially as combined with the lavish orchestral playing under Sir John Barbirolli on these classic recordings. All the artists on this recording really revel in the beauty and emotions of Mahler's music, Sir John and Dame Janet both making the most of all the notes, really making the music bloom to the full.
