Thomas Hampson sings Mahler's 'Des Knaben Wunderhorn', appreciated by Tess Crebbin.
To share his profound understanding of Mahler, and of the Wunderhorn in particular, Hampson does not shy away from somewhat unusual interpretations as he goes right to the origin of a song and, with great abandon and considerable talent, for instance manages to imitate the iah sound of a donkey.
Hampson is so gifted at 'selling' the wonders of Mahler that, so long as you are human and dealing with the normal problems that humans are facing, you are likely to get something out of this performance and to see Mahler with new eyes.

Thomas Hampson, Vienna-based baritone from Indiana, is in the enviable position that his every new release becomes a bestseller and this one will most likely not be an exception.

This movement began when Nathaniel Hawthorne was in his early 30’s and it was led by Thomas Cole.
The artist Thomas Cole would go out and sketch directly from nature, and then he would go back to his studio to paint on his canvasses.
A style that he used was tactile brushwork, which allowed the paintings to be perceived by the sense of touch, and he also used atmospheric lighting in order to paint many of his works.

Rather than drowning the tunes in full orchestration, a simple outfit of fiddle, piano and guitar accompanies Hampson's superb voice.

The melodies are so beautiful, as are the poems, and Thomas Hampson just brings them to life as wonderfully as ever.
Hampson's baritone brings Foster's songs to life rather than overwhelms them (which could easily have happened), and the emotions are affecting rather than merely sentimental.
True, some of the most famous songs appear only in instrumental medleys, but there are so many other Foster albums worth buying that any half-serious fan will own them sooner or later.
