Das Lied von der Erde After texts from Hans Bethge's poetry collection "The Chinese Flute"

Version for four soloists and chamber orchestra for the 100th anniversary (first performance: November 20, 1911 in Munich) (Concept and new arrangement: Hansjörg Albrecht)

For the 100th anniversary of the premiere of Das Lied von der Erde, Hansjörg Albrecht conceived of a new version of the work. Oehms Classics is delighted to be the first label to release this new arrangement on CD. In this case, Hans Bethge's brilliant texts are sung by four instead of the original two soloists. This recording is an entirely new arrangement for smaller orchestra and proves that Gustav Mahler's works have just as amazing an effect in "chamber-musical" size as with large orchestra.
