Though Mahler refrained from referring to his Das Lied von der Erde in symphonic terms, it is unquestionably a symphony wrought from song. Two of opera’s fastest-rising stars, Limmie Pulliam and Iurii Samoilov, join Franz Welser-Möst and The Cleveland Orchestra for this poetic work that comprises one of Mahler’s grandest achievements. Decades later, Honegger’s Third Symphony decried the horrors of World War II with stirring references to the Catholic liturgy.
