GUSTAV MAHLER

 

Songs from “Des Knaben Wunderhorn”

 

Christiane Oelze soprano,

Michael Volle baritone,

Gürzenich-Orchester Köln / Stenz

 

These songs follow on from the release in this series of Mahler’s 4th Symphony. This recording ends with “Himmlishchen Leben”, the song which closes the 4th Symphony. Christiane Oelze and Michael Volle alternate as soloists and sing some songs as duets. Once again, Stenz creates an unmistakable sound and demonstrates why this is a significant Mahler cycle.
