Three Rückert Lieder

Album by Gustav Mahler & Kathleen Ferrier & Wiener Philharmoniker & Bruno Walter

Three Rückert Lieder is a selection of orchestral songs by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, composed in 1901–1902. These intimate Lieder set poems by Friedrich Rückert and illustrate Mahler's move toward more lyrical, introspective vocal writing within his orchestral output, employing chamber-like textures, refined orchestral colour and widened harmonic language that bridge late-Romantic expressiveness and early modernist tendencies.
First released: 1956
