Gustav Mahler by Bruno Walter( Book )

110 editions published between 1936 and 2013 in 9 languages and held by 2,027 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Conductor, composer, and writer Bruno Walter (1876-1962) worked closely with Gustav Mahler as the composer's assistant and protégé. His revealing recollections of Mahler were written in 1936, marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of the composer's death. Walter first encountered Mahler more than 40 years earlier, when he served as the composer's assistant conductor in Hamburg. He worked with Mahler again at the Vienna Opera, and after the composer's death conducted the debut of the Ninth Symphony and Das Lied von der Erde. A staunch supporter of Mahler's genius and defender of his dour personality, Walter cites the pressures faced by a gifted artist striving for perfection. This edition of his tribute to his friend and mentor features supplemental materials that include a biographical sketch of Mahler as man and artist by Ernst Krenek, the composer's son-in-law and musical heir, and a new Introduction by Erik Ryding, author of Bruno Walter: A World Elsewhere [Publisher description]

Das Lied von der Erde by Gustav Mahler( Recording )

181 editions published between 1936 and 2014 in 4 languages and held by 1,100 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Der deutsche Bariton Christian Gerhaher ist zweifellos einer der besten Liedsänger der Welt. Auf seiner neuen CD widmet er sich gemeinsam mit Kent Nagano und dem Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal sowie Klaus Florian Vogt, Tenor, erstmals Mahlers berühmtem Werk "Das Lied von der Erde", seiner Vertonung von sieben Gedichten für Tenor, Alt und Orchester, laut Mahlers eigenem Bekunden "das Persönlichste, was ich je geschrieben habe". Das Werk komponierte Mahler 1907, einem Jahr, in dem sein Leben durch mehrere schwere Schicksalsschläge (dem Tod seiner Tochter, dem Rücktritt als Direktor der Wiener Hofoper und eigener Krankheit) gezeichnet war. Christian Gerhaher, Klaus Florian Vogt und dem Orchester unter Nagano gelingt es, die Tiefen und die Farbigkeit von Mahlers Werk in allen Details auszuloten. Nr. 1 Das Trinklied vom Jammer der Erde: Allegro pesante Nr. 2 Der Einsame im Herbst: Etwas schleichend. Ermüdet Nr. 3 Von der Jugend: Behaglich heiter Nr. 4 Von der Schönheit: Comodo. Dolcissimo Nr. 5 Der Trunkene im Frühling: Allegro Nr. 6 Der Abschied: Schwer

Kindertotenlieder by Gustav Mahler( Recording )

51 editions published between 1949 and 2012 in 7 languages and held by 572 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Im Jahr 1918 wurde mit dem Verein für musikalische Privataufführungen in Wien eine neuartige und bis heute konzeptionell spannende Veranstaltungsform etabliert. Eine in der Repertoirepflege dominierende Praxis war jene der künstlerisch hochqualitativen Bearbeitung von groß besetzten Werken für Klavier und kleinere Ensembles. Diese historischen Voraussetzungen dienten als Inspiration für die vorliegende Produktion mit Werken von Gustav Mahler und Alban Berg, hier in einer Neuinterpretation durch drei Komponisten unserer Zeit. Rainer Riehn konnte aufgrund seiner Ergänzungen an Schönberg-Bearbeitungen von Mahler-Orchesterliedern eine reiche Erfahrung mit der Bearbeitungspraxis des Vereins gewinnen und interpretiert Mahlers Kindertotenlieder neu. Alban Bergs Violinkonzert, ein musikalisches Epitaph, wurde durch den Komponisten und Arrangeur Andreas N. Tarkmann für das Linos-Ensemble in eine neue Klanggestalt gebracht. Die kammerorchestrale Einrichtung der Altenberg-Lieder Bergs schließlich geht auf den dänischen Komponisten und Musiktheoretiker Diderik Wagenaar zurück
