| "This splendid disc conveniently includes all of Mahler's songs, except for the 'Jugendzeit Lieder und Gesange' and the 'Wunderhorn' songs. Boulez is not as laid back as he often is. The songs are dramatic, tender, happy, sad, and humorous; he captures these diverse moods superbly, and the Vienna Philharmonic is with him all the way. They play beautifully, and those horns are to die for." |
