The period featured such renowned orchestra leaders as Karajan, Bernstein, Bohm, Klemperer, Solti, Giulini and others who enjoyed the spotlight and the glamour of conducting major orchestras while gathering the attention and the percs that accompany the allure of fame. Eugen Jochum labored in relative obscurity, much like another superb conductor of the era: Rafael Kubelik. These so-called second-tier conductors were hardly unknown, merely under-appreciated. Jochum possessed a mastery of the standard Germanic repertoire that could stand comparison with anyone. This 42 disc limited edition collection, featuring all of the orchestral works that Jochum recorded for DGG between 1949 and 1975, contains some of the finest recordings ever made of key symphonies by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms and Bruckner. It also features superb recordings of several tone poems by Richard Strauss. And as icing on the cake, the set contains Jochum's transcendent 1963 recording of Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde, featuring a riveting, ultimately heartbreaking performance by mezzo-soprano Nan Merriman and a powerful, probing performance by tenor Ernst Haefliger: both singers beautifully accompanied by the Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam. Jochum's Das Lied is one of the finest recordings ever made of this great symphonic song-cycle. Less romantic than Bruno Walter's version, less portentous than Klemperor's renowned recording, it features the same overwhelming drama of the journey into nothingness listeners experience when listening to Schubert's Winterreise, the comparably great song-cycle.Jochum's wonderful recordings of the Haydn London Symphonies have been acclaimed since their release in the early 1970s. They are performed on modern instruments but the London Philharmonic Orchestra is appropriately reduced in size. Orchestral tempos are swift and lithe and there is a joyfulness in their playing of Haydn that is absolutely infectious. I cannot listen to these performances without smiling broadly. Jochum's Beethoven symphonies are muscular, even plebeian at times, yet they retain their heroic nature without any romantic exaggeration. Jochum finds similar qualities in his performances of the Schubert and Brahms symphonies. He accentuates their melancholy beauty and depth without weakening his performance by overemphasizing their inherent dramatic power. Jochum's Mozart is recorded in mono and beautifully performed by the superb Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks with exceptional skill. These performances recognize Mozart's nascent Romanticism, and his music's darker colors and operatic qualities, which are so different from Haydn's almost Olympian detachment and Classical perfection.Especially renowned are Jochum's monumental recordings of the Bruckner symphonies, mostly dating from the mid-sixties and usually performed using the Nowak versions. The Berlin Philharmonic and the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks - led by an inspired Eugen Jochum - interpret Bruckner as a heaven-storming mystic whose organ textured orchestral wall-of-sound is appropriately powerful or delicate as the music demands. These are brilliant performances, some of the finest ever made of this complex yet insecure composer whose symphonic works are the capstone of the great 19th century Germanic orchestral tradition. Jochum brings a similarly vast and profound vision to his performances of the Strauss tone-poems. The Bruckner and Strauss performances are monumental recordings whose vast scale never preclude Jochum's use of variable dynamics and a deft, light touch when they are needed.The sound of these recordings range from a solid and rich mono in the earliest works to a clear-textured, bright sounding stereo in the later ones. Their sound is variable due to their disparity in age but generally represents the best of their era. Their recording quality is comparable to DGG's The Originals series, which utilizes their proprietary original-image bit-processing technique meant to recall the sound of vinyl recordings. This suggests that at least some of these recordings have been re-mastered. The box features a cover that closes from the side and both seem sturdy. The box is relatively small and light and can be carried in one hand. The 64-page booklet that accompanies the set is rudimentary but provides the most necessary discographic information but little else. The discs themselves are housed in cardboard sleeves that feature the original lp covers but not the original liner notes. This is the collection's greatest failing, in my opinion, since there is precious little contextual information provided for these important recordings. This is the first volume of a Jochum retrospective and all-in-all does a good job of celebrating this superb conductor. As is usual with limited edition releases, if you intend to purchase this set it is best not to wait too long. Collections as significant as this tend to go out-of-print rather quickly and soon become expensive third-party dealer items. This is an exemplary box set and is strongly recommended for its celebration of an excellent if under-appreciated conductor. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars You really get acquainted with Eugene Jochum *by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2019* Jochum was another of the so-called second tier conductors of the postWWII decades.
