Gustav Mahler: Ging Heut Morgen Ubers Feld: Violin: Instrumental Album

Fünf Ausgewählte Lieder-Mahler for violin and piano Why not! The violin is probably the instrument most akin to the human voice and Mahler was a prolific song writer. Georgian violinist Lisa Batiashvili has chosen five songs in arrangements by Ronald Kornfeil to enhance her own and others concert repertoire. She offers a selection from Aus der Jugendzeit Fahrenden Gesellen and Des Knaben Wunderhorn including the gorgeous Urlicht . The full-throated piano accompaniments of these originally orchestral songs will not only do the songs justice but also remind us of their use in Mahler s symphonies where of course the solo violin often featured. With no huge technicaldemands these arrangements can be tackled even by intermediate players and will offer students a rewarding exercise in powerful yet lyrical playing.
