About
These are surrounded by the rare "live" recording of Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde, his stereo Decca recordings of symphonies by Haydn, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms and Tchaikovsky, and a previously unpublished overture by Weber. The recordings cover a span of 19 years, 1955 to 1973, and are organised by the cities in which they were recorded: London, Vienna, Amsterdam and Tel Aviv in this 21-CD box set.
By the time stereo technology had become standard in the mid-1950s, Josef Krips had built an impressive recorded legacy for Decca documented in a companion set of mono recordings from Eloquence (Josef Krips Edition: Volume 1). Decca captured the conductor in several stereo remakes of canon repertoire - the last two symphonies of Schubert, Schumann's Fourth, the "Haffner" and "Jupiter" of Mozart - always with something deeper and wiser to say about repertoire which he had been exploring for 40 years and more, affording absorbing comparisons with his mono versions.
Also located in the Decca archive was a stereo recording of Weber's Oberon Overture, now published for the first time. With the Vienna Symphony Orchestra we have a live recording of Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde with star soloists Fritz Wunderlich and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.
Too little of Krips's work outside the Austro-German canon was preserved on record, as the beautifully moulded shape and definition of his 1958 Vienna Philharmonic version of Tchaikovsky's Fifth demonstrates.
You would easily guess from it that Mozart was Krips's yardstick in music, and for Philips he finally made a thorough-going survey of the mid-period and mature symphonies, from no.21 onwards, which he had performed throughout his life. When released in France in harness with the early symphonies led by Marriner, the set included Krips leading a rehearsal sequence of Symphony no.33 with his characteristically affable authority, and this has been released internationally for the first time on CD. As for the symphonies themselves, Krips sustains them with a natural warmth and breathing pulse that has always placed them in the top rank of "traditional" performances. The conductor's legacy is addressed in a new essay by Niek Nelissen. Photos and original jackets evoke the 50s and 60s as much as Krips's music-making.
"Something of a surprise - an unexpectedly full-blooded approach to the music, well played by the Vienna Philharmonic and richly recorded." - Stereo Review, February 1976 (Tchaikovsky - Symphony no.5)
"Krips's performances with their gentle rhythmic emphasis are attractively affectionate ... The waltzes have spirit, and the Pizzicato Polka comes off especially well. This dates from the earliest days of stereo, but the acoustic is warm and the sound is surprisingly good." - Penguin Guide, 1982 ("Memories of Vienna")
