Curved Air presents:
Symphonic Songs from Mahler and Strauss feat. Janet Baker, Jessye Norman, and Elisabeth Schwarzkopf
Not everything is a song. A symphony is not a song. A sonata is not a song. Only a song is a song,
In German, a song is called a “lied”, and songs are “lieder”. Today we listen to some “orchesterlieder”.
Click here to read a translation of Mahler’s “The Heavenly Life”, heard today sung by Elisabeth Schwarzkopf.
