The Farewell

Mahler composed the song cycle "Songs of the Earth" in 1908. It is one of his last completed works and a hauntingly beautiful one, even for someone like me who is not really into Mahler. You can listen to the story and the song, performed by Pierre Boulez, the Vienna Philarmonic, Violeta Urmana and Michael Schade here.
