Das klagende Lied

Album by Gustav Mahler & Brigitte Poschner & Marjana Lipovšek & David Rendall & Manfred Hemm & Wiener Singakademie & ORF Radio‐Symphonieorchester Wien & Michael Gielen

Das klagende Lied is a cantata by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, first completed in 1880 with revisions made in the 1890s. The score employs large-scale orchestral, choral and solo forces in a programme-driven, late-Romantic idiom that draws on folk-like motifs and dramatic narration, and it serves as an early large-form experiment that prefigures Mahler's later symphonic approach.
