Das klagende Lied

Album by Gustav Mahler & Evelyn Lear & Elisabeth Söderström & Grace Hoffman & Stuart Burrows & Ernst Haefliger & Gerd Nienstedt & London Symphony Orchestra & London Symphony Chorus & Pierre Boulez

Das klagende Lied is an early cantata by Gustav Mahler, completed in 1880. The work employs large-scale choral and orchestral forces with solo vocal narration, combining late-Romantic harmonic language, folk-like motifs and programmatic storytelling, and foreshadows Mahler's later symphonic approach.
First released: 1991
