Das Lied von der Erde

Album by Gustav Mahler & Grace Hoffman & Helmut Melchert & SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden‐Baden und Freiburg & Hans Rosbaud

Das Lied von der Erde is a symphonic song cycle by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1909. Merging late-Romantic orchestral writing with solo vocal settings of German translations of ancient Chinese poetry, it features expansive orchestration, expressive chromaticism and episodic song-structures, and occupies a pivotal place among Mahler's late works as a synthesis of his symphonic and vocal idioms.
First released: 1960
