Avie Records
The 2010 concert from which this recording of Mahler's Das Lied comes won many plaudits. It is fascinating to hear Schoenberg's unfinished reduction, completed by Rainer Riehn in 1938, for 16 players, especially given that this is one of Mahler's most economical scores, as well as a deeply poignant one. Schoenberg and Riehn make full use of the array of colours at their command. The tenor Peter Wedd, though powerful, shows himself capable of tender intimacy, while the mezzo Jane Irwin gives a moving account of the final Der Abschied. The Camerata play with distinction under the intelligent shaping of Douglas Boyd.
