Digital Booklet

"Five Stars ... Vladimir Jurowski brings Mahler's tragic worlds, both cosmic and human, alive with incomparable vividness. Detail leaps out in the fine balance of the Wayfarer songs, too."
- BBC Music Magazine
"... the orchestra does a splendid job and even, with fewer instruments than what one is used to in Mahler, creates quite an impact in the climactic moments. The engineers have captured the sound well both in terms of clarity and warmth."
- MusicWeb International
"... makes a fine composer snapshot ... the Lieder remain wonderfully transparent ... the OAE provide something all too rare in the Mahler catalogue ... a recognizable portrait of Mahler as a young man, rather than an elder composer of 10 symphonies looking backwards. And for that reason alone, it deserves a place on the shelf."
- Gramophone
On this live album recorded at the Royal Festival Hall in January 2011, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment sheds new light on some of Mahler's later repertoire. Conducted by Vladimir Jurowski, the programme includes Mahler’s Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen (Songs of a Wayfarer), written in the wake of an unhappy affair with a soprano, along with the extraordinarily exciting and powerful Totenfeier, Mahler’s first foray into orchestral music, which was later reworked into the opening movement of his second symphony.
