LPO Principal Guest Conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin has a great affinity with the German Romantic repertoire. His previous LPO Label disc, Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem, received great critical acclaim and is one of the most popular discs on the label.
In Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth), Mahler married together for the first time the lyricism of the song-cycle and the formal ambition of the symphony, describing it as ‘probably the most personal composition I have created thus far’.
This live 2011 concert recording from Royal Festival Hall features two of Britain’s finest soloists: tenor Toby Spence and mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly, who is particularly renowned for her Mahler interpretations.
Reviews of the concert:
‘Great singing, so in tune with the watercolour images and their deeper truths. So many shades, such fine detailing. Few have witnessed the renewal of spring with such heightened awareness. Glorious.’ - Edward Seckerson, The Independent
‘Toby Spence displayed ardour and heroism ... with Connolly a dignified and rapturous naturist, seeker and renewer; she’s a great artist.’ - Colin Anderson, Classical Source
