Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde
Magdalena Kožená (mezzo), Stuart Skelton (tenor), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Simon Rattle

Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde
RecommendedSarah Connolly (mezzo-soprano), Robert Dean Smith (tenor)
Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, Vladimir Jurowski
[Connolly] makes the perfect case for pulling the lustrous stops out at each death-transcending release in the ‘Farewell’; Mahler may mark the dynamics at a lower level, but the emotion is irresistible.... — More…

Special offer. Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde
Sarah Connolly (mezzo-soprano) & Toby Spence (tenor)
London Philharmonic Orchestra, Yannick Nézet-Séguin
one smudged turn apart, the orchestral playing is perfect, the crucial oboe, flute and clarinet solos the best I've heard. Nezet-Seguin's vision is suitably hyperaesthetic - he is already an... — More…

Mahler: Das Lied von Der Erde
Anna Larsson (contralto), Stuart Skelton (tenor)
