It was in 1887 that Gustav Mahler (1860-1911), browsing in the Leipzig library of Carl von Weber, with whose wife Marion the composer was currently in love, pulled from a shelf copy of the poetic anthology "Des Knaben Wunderhorn" which had belonged to his host's grandfather, the composer Carl Maria von Weber. Originally released on the label Deutsche Grammophon in 1989, these Lieder to poems from "Das Knaben Wunderhorn"( The Youth's Magic Horn) are performed by Lucia Popp (sopran), Andreas Schmidt (bariton) and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra conducted by the legendary Leonard Bernstein. Recorded live in Amsterdam, Concertgebouw in October 1987. |
