Various Composers - Lieder Eines Fahrenden Gesellen

Facts Historical performance pioneer Trevor Pinnock conducts the Royal Academy of Music Soloists Ensemble in chamber arrangements from Mahler to Zemlinksy. Mahler: Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen (arr. Schoenberg), the third in this Linn series, transports us to a period of vast musical change: in Mahler we hear nostalgia welded with modernism; with Wagner, we hear the sunset of Romanticism; with Zemlinsky we hear the seeds of fin-de-siècle Vienna; and in all, the extremities of emotion distilled into non-symphonic forces. 'Here is a stunning example of less being infinitely more.' (Toronto Star)
