Mahler: Song of the Earth
Mahler's Song of the Earth is inspired by Chinese poetry and culture
One of Mahler’s final works, this series of songs based on Chinese classical poetry runs the gamut of human experiences with meditations on love, nature, drinking, solitude and the passing of time. The evening opens with Polish composer Lutosławski’s tribute to Bartók.
