Used to bore me, originally. Then it irritated me for a few decades. Now, it's engaging enough to play in the car for a few days. Progress of something, but of what, I don't know.

I do know that the slower stuff works for me the best.

Picked this up yesterday for a song at Half-Price, curious about the Fischer-Dieskau/Murray Dickie/Kletzki Das Lied. Never much of a F-D fan, in terms both of the voice per se and his interpretive style (all that lecture/demonstration underlining/barking for emphasis), but he's in mellifluous/passionate form on this 1959 recording, total unforced identification with the texts. Dickie is just fine, I very much like Kletzki's way with the score, and the Philharmonia is in superb form -- those horns and the winds! They play as if they've just encountered the work for the first time and are astonished by what they find there. The Baker/Barbirolli performances I already know, the Tennstedt Knaben Wunderhorn selection will be new to me when I get around to it. I like/imprinted on the old Wyn Morris Knaben Wunderhorn.
