Das Lied von der Erde was originally issued by RCA in 1960 as a two-record box set LSC-6087, with Haydn Sym. No. 88 on the fourth side. It was reissued on Victrola VICS-1390 as a single LP in 1968. The work is one of those pieces of music that is a bit too long to get on a single LP without compromising the sound quality.The recording has a lot a competition, both in conductors and singers. It will be interesting to hear how the sound quality comes up. I will certainly be buying it, along with the R. Strauss Symphonia Domestica. We are getting into the second rank Reiner recordings in terms of sound. But Reiner's conducting and RCA's engineering is always worth hearing. When are we going to get Reiner's recording of Lieberman Concerto for Jazz Band and David Oistrakh's recording of Chausson Poeme and Saint-Saens Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso with Munch? Both were issued on 2-track tape and have outstanding sonics.
