Overview
Gustav Mahler's Das Lied Von Der Erde (The Song of the Earth) is one of the most profound and moving works in the classical music repertoire. First performed in 1911, this symphonic song cycle blends symphonic grandeur with the intimacy of song, exploring themes of nature, beauty, youth, and the passage of time. This 1997 recording features the Staatskapelle Dresden under the baton of Giuseppe Sinopoli, with powerful performances by contralto Iris Vermillion and tenor Keith Lewis. Their interpretations bring Mahler's deep emotional expressiveness to life, supported by the lush orchestral textures that characterize the work's monumental scale.
