  1. 1st interlude, from Intermezzo Op 72 - Richard Strauss
  2. From Jewish Folk Poetry Op 79 - Dmitry Shostakovich
  3. Das Klagende Lied - Gustav Mahler

'Minstrel, oh minstrel, what strange, sad stories will be told...' A wanderer in the forest carves a flute from a bone - but nothing prepares him for the song it will sing. Nothing quite prepares you for Das Klagende Lied (Song of lamentation), either: Gustav Mahler’s first masterpiece is a grand, gothic choral folk-tale filled with woodland magic, haunting melodies and – of course – heaven-storming climaxes. If you love Mahler’s symphonies, you’ve simply got to hear this; a fabulous contrast to the pitch-black humour and searing passion of Shostakovich’s folk-inspired song-cycle for three solo voices and orchestra. It’s all a long, dark way from the après-ski fun of Richard Strauss’s Intermezzo."
