Two brilliantly contrasting masterworks — one scored for a massive ensemble of full orchestra, two choruses and soloist, the other for small orchestra and soloist, the latter also marking Mahler's move into the contrapuntal style of all his later works. Reprinted from authoritative Viennese editions with new translations of texts.
Songs of a Wayfarer and Kindertotenlieder in Full Score by Gustav Mahler Two orchestral song cycles, one from the early period and one from the late, that richly display Mahler's intense romanticism and his genius in composing for voice and orchestra.
Symphonies Nos. 5 and 6 in Full Score by Gustav Mahler In these two works, Mahler moved beyond his song-oriented earlier works to take up the challenges of the purely instrumental symphony. The result was two of his most emotionally compelling works.
Symphony No. 7 In Full Score by Gustav Mahler Popular, accessible work by great late-Romantic composer. A purely instrumental composition that is both hopeful and romantic in feeling. Reprinted from the authoritative German edition of 1909.
