Details: Gustav Mahler was the first composer to enrich his lieder with orchestral depth. The ANALEKTA label now presents an awe-inspiring rendition of three cycles of lieder from Gustav Mahler sung by the world-renowned German baritone Christian Gerharer, accompanied by the Orchester Symphonique de Montréal, under the direction of Kent Nagano. “This recording of Mahler's song cycles is in many ways the fruit of a long and ongoing collaboration between Christian Gerhaher and the OSM, a collaboration which has included not only many concert appearances but also international touring and recording (Das Lied von der Erde). Mahler's creative genius and the refinement of Christian Gerhaher's extraordinary talent, interpretive sensitivity and imagination provoke both OSM and the listener into a relationship of intensely active collaboration. As with all our recording projects, we hope to both preserve Montreal's legacy of symphonic artistry by reaching beyond the confines of the concert hall to share great music to the broadest audience possible," said Kent Nagano. ///////// ////////////// Gustav Mahler was the first composer to enrich his lieder with orchestral depth Under the ANALEKTA label, Christian Gerharer, the internationally renowned German baritone and a reference in the field of lied, with the Orchester symphonique de Montréal under the direction of Kent Nagano, offers us a gripping interpretation of three cycles of lieder by Gustav Mahler.
