Gurre-Lieder, Pt. 1: Orchestral Prelude by Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra. 2. 30. Gurre-Lieder, Pt. 1: Nun dämpft die Dämm'rung jeden Ton. by Stuart Skelton. Conductor Edward Gardner has exactly the right pedigree for this performance, being vastly experienced already in both opera and large scale choral works, and having demonstrated his Wagner credentials in a superb ENO Meistersinger that I was privileged to attend. I mention Wagner as I usually describe this as the greatest work of Wagner not by Wagner, and I see no reason to change this view.

For instance his Melbourne recording of the Miraculous Mandarin Suite is top notch, but the rest of that album is rather ordinary.

The album also contains an interpretation of the famous tale by Gogol, Taras Bulba, Janácek’s most substantial orchestral work to that point. It is inflected with folk dances, battle and equestrian music, suffering and love, all brought to a grandiloquent apotheosis in orchestration of almost cinematic vividness. 96 kHz, 24-bit PCM – Chandos Studio Masters.

Gurre-Lieder (Schoenberg, Arnold). However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide).

Austere Arnold was not cut out for popular acclaim. Despite his breakaway from tonal harmony, Gurre-Lieder is late-romantic in style and sentiment, a knight-and-girl saga. The influence of Gustav Mahler is considerable and there is reason to suspect that Schoenberg was motivated to resume the work by his mentor’s tremendous success with his Symphony of 1,000 in September 1910 and his death in May 1911. Comparisons with Mahler’s eighth symphony are, however, superficial. The three main protagonists – Alwyn Mellor, Anna Larsson and Stuart Skelton – are superb and the Bergen Philharmonic orchestra and choirs, conducted by Edward Gardner, sound utterly pumped up for the performance, captured live at two home concerts. The sound, mastered by Brian Pidgeon and Ralph Couzens, is exemplary in colour, detail and balance.
