'Das klagende Lied (original version, 1880)', Mahler |
| Performance Notes | Das klagende Lied, Mahlers musical coming-of- age, is a chilling fable of jealousy, murder and magic. An eerie woodland and a lively wedding ceremony are the centrepieces of a cantata of vast sonic imagination a foretaste of the symphonies to come, heard here in its original three-part version.
Mahlers sonic scope meets its match in the musical spectacle of Pierre Boulezs majestic processional Rituel in memoriam Bruno Maderna. Dedicated to the composers long-time colleague and friend, the work transforms the concert hall into a temple, in which the audience is immersed in the sounds created by eight groups of musicians. |
