Pierre Boulez, Wiener philharmoniker. Mahler. Das klagende lied / Berg. Lulu-suite (CD)

Pierre Boulez is an icon of todays classical scene, and closely-associated with the works of Mahler, many of which he has recorded exclusively for Deutsche Grammophon.
Featuring the acclaimed Vienna Philharmonic and the chorus of the Vienna State Opera historically connected to Mahler, Berg and Boulez.
These performances were recorded live at the opening concert of the prestigious Salzburg Festival in 2011, conceived as a tribute to Gustav Mahler.
Will be released to coincide with the maestro s 88th birthday in March.
Mahlers 2-act Das Klagende Lied is a mythical tale of fratricide, guilt and retribution, based on stories by the Grimm brothers and Ludwig Bechstein.
Das Klagende Lied fits perfectly into the comprehensive Mahler repertoire which Boulez has recorded on Deutsche Grammophon within the last decades.
Boulez clearly brings out the Mahlerian stylistic gestures found in this early work. Yet he also does not neglect the waves of overpowering energy (Der Standard).
Soprano Anna Prohaska, soloist in Bergs Lulu Suite, is a Deutsche Grammophon exclusive recording artist; Der Standard called her performance dazzling and Die Presse rated it sensational.
