MAHLER SYMPH.NO 2 THE RESURRECTION PART I FUNERAL MARCH
.
Note the tremoli of the violins in the intro,it reminds the Valkure.Mahler never really made it to get away from the Master`s influence, his music being often compared to Wagners.
THE FUNERAL MARCH begins this raugh and violent introduction in a mood of threnody and anger!!! Many interpretations handle this piece in a fast tempo, something that makes me angered. I remember listening to the Mitropoulos one which is majestic but a bit fast. The best thing one can do is to listen to the Klemperer and Walter approach, because both were so close to Mahler and had straight relation with the second symphony. But again after so many years from Mahler`s death, i think both being very stuborn and absolute, gave their personal view on the piece. My favorite is the Bernstein reading on this memorable video from the legendary performance in London.

MAHLER HERMANN PREY Wenn mein Schatz Hochzeit macht
. Wenn mein Schatz Hochzeit macht (When My Sweetheart is Married) Wenn mein Schatz Hochzeit macht, Fröhliche Hochzeit macht, Hab' ich meinen traurigen Tag! Geh' ich in mein Kämmerlein, Dunkles Kämmerlein, Weine, wein' um meinen Schatz, Um meinen lieben Schatz! Blümlein blau! Verdorre nicht! Vöglein süß! Du singst auf grüner Heide. Ach, wie ist die Welt so schön! Ziküth! Ziküth! Singet nicht! Blühet nicht! Lenz ist ja vorbei! Alles Singen ist nun aus! Des Abends, wenn ich schlafen geh', Denk'ich an mein Leide! An mein Leide!When my darling has her wedding-day, her joyous wedding-day, I will have my day of mourning! I will go to my little room, my dark little room, and weep, weep for my darling, for my dear darling! Blue flower! Do not wither! Sweet little bird you sing on the green heath! Alas, how can the world be so fair? Chirp! Chirp! Do not sing; do not bloom! Spring is over. All singing must now be done. At night when I go to sleep, I think of my sorrow, of my sorrow!
MAHLER DIETRICH FISCER DISCAU LIEDER EINES FAHRENDEN GESSELLEN
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, baritone
NHK Symphony, Paul Kletzki, conductor
Filmed at Salle Pleyel, Paris, 24 October 1960
walked across the fields this morning;
dew still hung on every blade of grass.
The merry finch spoke to me:
"Hey! Isn't it? Good morning! Isn't it?
You! Isn't it becoming a fine world?
Chirp! Chirp! Fair and sharp!
How the world delights me!"
Also, the bluebells in the field
merrily with good spirits
tolled out to me with bells(ding, ding)
their morning greeting:
"Isn't it becoming a fine world?
Ding, ding! Fair thing!
How the world delights me!"
And then, in the sunshine,
the world suddenly began to glitter;
everything gained sound and color
in the sunshine!
Flower and bird, great and small!
"Good day,
Is it not a fine world?
Hey, isn't it? A fair world?"
Now will my happiness also begin?
No, no - the happiness I mean
Ging heut morgen übers Feld,
Tau noch auf den Gräsern hing;
Sprach zu mir der lust'ge Fink:
"Ei du! Gelt? Guten Morgen! Ei gelt?
Du! Wird's nicht eine schöne Welt?
Zink! Zink! Schön und flink!
Wie mir doch die Welt gefällt!"
Auch die Glockenblum' am Feld
Had mir lustig, guter Ding',
Mit den Glöckchen, klinge, kling,
Ihren Morgengruß geschellt:
"Wird's nicht eine schöne Welt?
Kling, kling! Schönes Ding!
Wie mir doch die Welt gefällt! Heia!"
Und da fing im Sonnenschein
Gleich die Welt zu funkeln an;
Alles Ton und Farbe gewann
Im Schonnenschein!
Blum' und Vogel, groß und Klein!
"Guten Tag,
ist's nicht eine schöne Welt?
Ei du, gelt? Schöne Welt!"
Nun fängt auch mein Glück wohl an?
Nein, nein, das ich mein',
Mir nimmer blühen kann!
can never bloom!
