Emanuel Bach
Michael Kraus (baritone) & Maya Beiser (cello)
Radio Symphony Orchestra, Berlin, Simone Young
"...listening to Bürger, there are truly passages where you’d
swear this was something by Mahler—perhaps a heretofore
lost sixth song from Kindertotenlieder—but as the music
progresses, it becomes more operatic in style. The voice soars
in mounting ecstasy as the orchestral accompaniment resolves into evermore tonal harmony. The
climax is like the coming together of Wagner, Richard Strauss, and Korngold in radiant rhapsodic
rapture. If you’re into orchestral songs of indescribable romantic richness and effusion, you
cannot be without this CD."

Mahler: Symphony No. 6 in A minor 'Tragic'
Bamberger Symphoniker, Jonathan Nott
“It's not only as compelling as this team's Seventh and Ninth
Symphonies, it also counts among the most bracing, revelatory
Sixths on disc...The all-embracing theatricality is equal to
Leonard Bernstein's first New York recording...the torrents
around the fallout from the hammerblows of fate in the
colossal finale.”
SACD7191
“...as a collective entity, it can stand with the best of those to have emerged in the CD era.”
