"rich, ardent singing of Mahler's Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen." The Times, 29th September 2012 ***
In this live recording from the Royal Festival Hall the OAE shines its musical torch into the realms of some later repertoire, shedding new light on the music of Mahler. Conducted by Principal Artist Vladimir Jurowski, this CD includes Mahler's 'Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen' (Songs of a Wayfarer), written in the wake of an unhappy affair with a soprano, and the extraordinarily exciting and powerful 'Totenfeier', Mahler's first foray into orchestral music, and later reworked into the opening movement of his second symphony.
