Simon Halsey on Mahler, Bach, Stravinsky
Vladimir Jurowski conducts Mahler and Stravinsky
Gustav Mahler’s Das klagende Lied, conducted here by Vladimir Jurowski, combines horror and fantasy. The composer himself was convinced that in this work he had found his own style. And indeed, although there is a wealth of forest murmurs and leitmotifs in the best Wagner style, there is also that difficult to describe but unmistakeable Mahler sound.
