Hanno Müller-Brachmann and Hendrik Heilmann venture into the complex emotional territories of Mahler's song cycles to poems by Friedrich Rückert.
Kindertotenlieder, first performed in 1905, deals with the grief unlocked by the death of two of the poet's children, while the five Rückert Lieder reveal the psychological insight and captivating beauty of Mahler's intensely romantic music.
