The Song of the Earth

Having recently purchased a recording of Mahler's "Das Lied von der Erde" in the chamber version made by Schoenberg/Riehn, I have discovered that I now prefer it to the full orchestral version. It would seem that in the chamber version the music and words seem to benefit from clearer textures that the orchestral version, with it's scoring for a large ensemble, simply "blur".

Discover and Enjoy!
