Das Lied Von Der Erde

I loved Ralph Moore's survey of Mahler's great work. I kept patiently scrolling, waiting for his opinion on the Kurt Sanderling recording, with Schreier and Finnila. 'Twas not to be. I urge Ralph Moore to become acquainted with it. Yes, Schreier struggles in the first movement but I love the passionate way he declaims his struggle. There are times when I find it difficult to listen to the woeful pronunciation of German by non-German singers; I feel right at home with Peter Schreier. Then there is the guidance of the great Mahlerian, Kurt Sanderling. I urge readers to listen to this recording.
