Mahler/Schoenberg • The Song of the Earth

Das Lied von der Erde (” The Song of the Earth “) is a large-scale work for two vocal soloists and orchestra by the Austrian composer Gustav Mahler . Laid out in six separate movements, each of them an independent song, the work is described on the title-page as Eine Symphonie für eine Tenor- und eine Alt- (oder Bariton-) Stimme und Orchester (nach Hans Bethges “Die chinesische Flöte”) (‘A Symphony for One Tenor and One Alto (or Baritone) Voice and Orchestra (After Hans Bethge’s ‘The Chinese Flute’)’). Mahler’s copious use of ‘Chinese’ characteristics in the music marks the work as unique in his output. Composed in the years 1907 – 1909 , it followed the Eighth Symphony —but was not given a number, allegedly because of the composer’s superstitious fear of the supposedly ‘mortal significance’ of a ‘ninth symphony’. The work takes approximately sixty-five minutes in performance.

I love how Schoenberg sounds like a completely different artist between his early life (which is when he wrote this) and his later life.
