Pierre Boulez: Mahler (Des Knaben Wunderhorn / Adagio from Symphony No. 10) (2010)

In celebration of the 150th anniversary of Mahlers birth and just one month short of his own 85th birthday, composer-conductor Pierre Boulez marked his forty-five-year collaboration with the Cleveland Orchestra by directing this very special Mahler-only concert at Ohios splendid Severance Hall. Following the Adagio from the unfinished Tenth Symphony, he presented Twelve Songs from Des Knaben Wunderhorn with soloists Magdalena Koená and Christian Gerhaher, both much-sought-after opera and concert singers on the worlds leading stages.
