I trust my first impressions, and the perfect accompaniment by the piano here was an instant like. There's a lot of music I've had to grow into, but not this time, and maybe it's the sense of being close-up at a private recital. Funny thing - I have a fixed income and a paid-up Netflix subscription, but I'd rather drop $18 on this for an evening's entertainment, not to mention future listening.
Edit: I bought the 1990 Mahler / Fischer-Dieskau album reviewed here some time ago, and while it's indeed very different from this music as noted above, it has a good bit of the Teutonic boisterousness I experienced on occasion during my days in Germany.
