	Hampson on Mahler
		Kindertotenlieder (Songs on the Death of Children) is a setting of five poems by the German romantic poet Friedrich Rückert (1788-1866), who wrote more than 400 after the deaths of two of his young children.
		With its first-person voice, the poetry was personal, yet it was universal in its focus on the meaning and fragility of existence.
		Hampson recorded Kindertotenlieder with Leonard Bernstein and the Vienna Philharmonic in October 1988.

		In the Kindertotenlieder, she is a bereft mother, crushed by the loss of her children.
		While each song is heartbreaking in its own way, she still manages to reach even deeper in the final song, "In diesem Wetter, in diesem Braus" in which the mother, driven mad by her loss, laments that her (dead) children should not be out in the storm raging outside.

		While thinking of the Kindertotenlieder may be painful – and why even risk invoking the jinx; after all, it struck Mahler himself – it is my belief that these people are missing a crucial part of Mahler's output that is as awe-inspiring as his symphonies and the other songs.
		I've been listening to five different Kindertotenlieder's during all this: Thomas Hampson with orchestra (Bernstein/Vienna; DG 28943 16822) and piano (with Wolfram Rieger; EMI Classics 24355 64432); Norman Foster/Horenstein (Bamberg; VoxBox CDX2 5509); Baker/Barbirolli (Halle; EMI GROC 24356 69962); and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, with Daniel Barenboim at the piano (EMI CDC7676572).
		The orchestra in the Kindertotenlieder is a small one, being only strings and winds, with the exception of two horns (and some brief but telling instances of kettledrum and gong).

		But recovery from such a trauma as the rapid, successive loss of two children cannot proceed in a linear way, so it is no surprise that the parent – if he wants to console his children in the sunshine on those heights and find resolution for himself – will be tested one more time.
		Mahler, who in the Kindertotenlieder proves himself as masterly in psychology and human nature as he was in music and literature – again intensifying the original Rückert poem far beyond its original state – knew this.
		After listening to the Kindertotenlieder at least 80 times in the past two months, my awestruck shake of the head has become a part of whatever version is playing.

	Mahlerfest - Lieder
		Also in contrast to the Kindertotenlieder, these songs make no attempt to coalesce into a "cycle": there is no unifying thought, no journey, no story being told.
		Written mostly during the summer of 1901 when the composer was turning 41, the Rückert songs are the archetype of what we now call "Middle Mahler." Scored for a smaller orchestra whose instruments rarely all play at the same time, the songs have a chamber-like atmosphere that underscores their intimate nature.
		Most importantly, the song is built on the yearning four-note rising phrase that also appears in the 4th Symphony, movement three; the 5th, Adagietto; and the second of the Kindertotenlieder.

		The performance of Kindertotenlieder was the first recording on which Bruno Walter and Kathleen Ferrier collaborated; and this recording of the Fourth symphony was Walter’s first recording of the work.
		The Kindertotenlieder, produced by Walter Legge for Columbia, was the idea of Bruno Walter and followed three concert performances given by him and Ferrier.
		This is an ideal opportunity for collectors to acquire a classic account of Kindertotenlieder by a great singer and to experience the work of one of the finest of all Mahler conductors.

		In their second installment in a season-long Mahler cycle, the Boston Philharmonic and conductor Benjamin Zander have paired the Kindertotenlieder with the Symphony No. 4 — interspersed by a single Wunderhorn song —; in a rich expressive trajectory.
		Nonetheless, the journey from dark to light, from earthly devastation to the abundance, playfulness, and perfection of heaven was vividly navigated.
		For the five songs in Kindertotenlieder and the Wunderhorn song, Das irdische Leben (The Earthly Life), Zander had the inspired idea of engaging the great lieder singer Mitsuko Shirai.

		The Kindertotenlieder ("Songs on the Death of Children") are a lieder cycle, in other words a collection of German art-songs.
		Originally from the catalogue of 500 poems that Friedrich Rückert wrote after his own children passed away from sickness, these were set to music by Mahler, who's preoccupation with death led him to write many works dealing with the subject.
		The Kindertotenlieder are written for either mezzo-soprano or baritone.

		Some two weeks after the engagement (late 1901) had been announced, Natalie Bauer-Lechner, Mahler's friend, musician, and his Boswell, made her last entry into the diary in which for some seven years she had kept careful notes of her conversations with Mahler about his music and his views on life in general.
		However, in the forward to the English edition of Natalie's recollections, de La Grange speculates that perhaps three of the Kindertotenlieder were included along with in manuscripts of Wunderhorn songs which Mahler gave to Natalie.
		In summary, the years when Mahler started his Fifth and Kindertotenlieder were good years for him, in his beautiful lakeside villa and comfortable composing hut up the hill in the woods.

		And as the vast structure unfolds, his approach seems increasingly laboured and two-dimensional, culminating in an account of the finale that is too drawn out to sustain its intensity.
		It is paired with a performance of Kindertotenlieder that is equally underpowered emotionally.
		Tilson Thomas colours the orchestral accompaniments to the song cycle strikingly, and mezzo Michelle DeYoung's delivery is beautiful, but these settings should be powered by an anguish and sense of loss that she never remotely suggests.

		Mahler began his Kindertotenlieder in the summer of 1901, after a health crisis got him thinking about his own mortality.
		That night, February 24, after the performance, Mahler telephoned his sister, who arrived at his apartment to find him lying in a pool of his own blood.
		Mahler composed during summers, and the summer of 1901 was one of his most prolific, yielding a host of songs, including the first, third, and fourth of the Kindertotenlieder and two movements of his Fifth Symphony.

		She sings handsomely, though perhaps without the extra bit of gravitas that Janet Baker or Christa Ludwig could bring to the lyrics.
		Also, quite nicely she fills out the set by doing the Kindertotenlieder cycle, a worthy companion that plumbs the depths, as does the symphony.
		Kindertotenlieder is also amazing however I do prefer the recording Bernstein did in Isreal with Janet Baker.

		The second piece is Kindertotenlieder and here a lot depends on the bond between soloist and conductor.
		I was pretty worried by Ms De Young when the fourth movement of the Symphony started, - a warbly, wobbly "Gib Acht" followed by a strained "Ich Schleif" raised alarm bells, but I needn't have worried as she gets progressively better after than uncertain start and makes a fine contribution.
		However, more than that is needed in the Kindertotenlieder.

		The Das Lied von der Erde is risibly dramatised, with performers who can neither sing nor act very well, and a reduced orchestration which hurts more than it helps.
		The Kindertotenlieder is a straight concert performance with somewhat better singing, but again the orchestra is reduced, sounding more threadbare than focused.
		Buying this awful DVD is a priority only for those who can stand unintentional humor for more than a full hour at a time.
