Kindertotenlieder

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

Kindertotenlieder is a song cycle by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1904. The cycle employs late-Romantic harmonic language, intimate orchestration and a concentrated vocal approach to set poems about grief and mortality, and it occupies a distinctive place in Mahler's middle-period output as a focused vocal counterpart to his symphonic work.
First released: 1951
