 | | Des Antonius von Padua Fischpredigt, in 3/8 time, is best known as the source for the music of the scherzo of the Second Symphony. | | | Mahler did not specify in his scores whether the songs were to be sung by a man or a woman, although the military songs are clearly more effective when sung by a man. Similarly, some of the pastoral songs are best served by a woman's voice. | | | The Second, Third, and Fourth Symphonies are often called the Wunderhorn symphonies because of their use of some of these songs as movements. |

| | Des Knaben Wunderhorn |
| | While Mahler's earlier Wunderhorn songs, for voice and piano, were eventually orchestrated (by other musicians, with Mahler's approval), it is inescapably apparent that those we hear this week were conceived in orchestral terms from the outset. | | | The cynicism and irony, applied with a light touch, are part of the song's charm; so is the reduced orchestra, which contrasts with the large one emphasizing dark colors in the first song. | | | Two of the orchestral Wunderhorn songs that are not included in this week's concerts are familiar as parts of Mahler's Symphonies Nos. |

| | Thomas Hampson DVD: Des Knaben Wunderhorn - Munich |
| | The allegorical aspects of the Wunderhorn songs are explained on their prophetic merit, in interviews with Hampson, and it is these allegorical associations he seeks to bring across with his performance that is always part oration, part song. | | | The baritone has a long-standing relationship with the Wunderhorn, having been the one to bring out the premiere recording of the Mahler Original Piano Versions, on a Teldec CD (9031-74726-2) in 1994, accompanied by Geoffrey Parsons. | | | The baritone has organized the Wunderhorn songs in such a fashion as to bring his own understanding of Mahler, as a composer who conducted a systematic investigation of all matters concerning life and the universe and the creatures living therein including ourselves as human beings, closer to the audience. |

| | Ann Schmiesing's Lecture |
| | For although it gained a reputation as a unified collection of folksongs, Des Knaben Wunderhorn is in fact a random assortment of various types of songs, including hymns, children's songs, war songs, allegorical poetry, craftsmen songs, ballads, and idylls. | | | For example, his song "Der gute Kamerad" (The Good Comrade) is based on "Revelge," one of the Wunderhorn songs for which Mahler composed music. | | | With feigned innocence, the collection of old folk songs which appeared by [publishers] Mohr and Zimmer under the title Des Knaben Wunderhorn in 1806 wormed its way into favor and gained encouragement which was far too indulgent. |

| | Barbara Bonny's five songs include Das himmlische Leben, not one of the Wunderhorn series, but the finale of the composer's fourth symphony, which she had already recorded with Chailly a year earlier. | | | This is the third disk version of Des Knaben Wunderhorn with the Concertgebouw Orchestra. | | | All of the soloists are excellent, Chailly again shows he is one of today's major Mahler conductors, and the sound well captures the Concertgebouw sound, singers are rather close up in the sonic picture, the orchestra a touch distant - and very heavy bass. |

| | The songs gave their name to the Wunderhorn Symphonies (numbers 2, 3 and 4), which are partly based upon Des Knaben Wunderhorn. | | | In Lob des hohen Verstandes his voice is a bit too heavy for a song about a cuckoo. | | | The songs set folk poems which depict childhood imagination and range from military marches and nocturnes, through tales of love and death to a fantasy world of speaking animals. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Arts critics CD: Mahler: Des Knaben Wunderhorn |
| | But to Mahler, Des Knaben Wunderhorn was of far greater significance than being that of a handily available source of song texts. | | | Many of the independent Wunderhorn settings are nowadays familiar recital numbers, in versions with both piano accompaniment and with orchestra. | | | At first sight therefore, the claim of this Telos set, the first volume in a projected complete edition of Mahler's songs, to be the first complete recording of all Mahler's Wunderhorn songs with piano, is hard to credit. |

| | No surprise, then, that this rendition of the Wunderhorn songs has been a classic from the day it was made, and fittingly belongs in EMI's Great Recordings of the Century reissue series. | | | Overall, I highly recommend this CD, and I must respectfully disagree with the other Paul who said that this music is not interpreted correctly. | | | Of the concert performances in London that preceded the making of this recording in March 1968, the Guardian's Ted Greenfield wrote that "the two greatest Lieder singers in the world" were supported by "Britain's finest orchestra under the conductor who has trained America's finest orchestra"--and this is still true. |

| | Lob des hohen Verstanden has a competition between a cuckoo (who keeps time but isn't inventive) and a nightingale (whose song is complex though elusive). | | | It is also illuminating as a document on how performers work together — Hampson and Reiger talk about as well as demonstrate the dialogue that turns voice and piano into song. | | | "Song literature", he says "would be infinitely less rich without these songs, which have so many musical possibilities." Wunderhorn helped Mahler take song beyond Schubert and Schumann and right into the modern world. |

| | He is all-too often thought of as a composer of long and confusing symphonic music, but this CD proves that his music was originated in a more compact, chamber-like style. | | | After hearing the symphonies of Mahler, many listeners approach these songs almost as an afterthought. | | | However, when heard as an independent work, the Wunderhorn songs reflect a different side to Mahler which very few people seem to understand. |
