Riccardo Chailly adds to his critically acclaimed series of Mahler recordings with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra this unusual new version of teh great song cycle Des Knaben Wunderhorn with an outstanding team of vocal soloists.
This recording will be of particular interest as it presents the work with four soloists instead of the usual two.
This new approach is based on Riccardo Chailly's extensive research into performances in which Mahler chose to perform selected songs with a singer of a particular voice type.
"Riccardo Chailly's credentials as a Mahlerian cannot be faulted, not least on disc. Once more, where his own admirable orchestra is concerned, he gives a performance that is finely balanced, attentive to all-important detail and convincing as a whole. He has chosen his own, not always convincing, order for the songs, added the last movement of the Fourth Symphony, usually excluded, and employed extra soloists presumably to suit the emotion of two of the songs." - Gramophone Magazine
