Das Lied von Erde - Mahler Cycle 1

On Sale 01 December 2011

Stellar soloists, mezzo Katarina Karnéus and tenor Stuart Skelton, join the ASO in one of Gustav Mahler's most personal of works - his valedictory and heart wrenching song-symphony - Das Lied von der Erde.

By way of contrast, the concert opens with Schubert's sunny, good-humoured Fifth Symphony.
