Title: Simply gorgeous!
Review: Get this incredibly well-priced CD if you want to hear the most beautifully recorded and performed "Lyric Symphony" available. Gielen and his SWR orchestra have already established themselves as world-class musicians with recordings of Brahms, Bruckner, Mahler, Bartok, Stravinsky, and of many other composers. Here they continue their mastery with performances unsurpassed in ensemble precision, musicality and beauty of sound.The recorded sound, as always from this source, is demonstration quality.[Having other recordings of the Zemlinsky symphony and Berg songs, I was not bothered by the omission of the text inside the booklet. The performances more than compensate for this. There are many sources on the web where one can get the texts for free.]
