Over Mahler - The Song of Lamentation

Mexican conductor Jos? Are?n leads the Orquesta Sinf?nica de Miner?a and four vocal soloists in a performance of Gustav Mahler's cantata "The Song of Lamentation" (Das klagende Lied). Among the soloists are soprano Sally Dibblee, mezzo-soprano Marjorie Elinor Dix, tenor Arturo Chac?n, and bass Stephen West. Written between 1878-1880, the work is based on a fairy tale by Ludwig Bechstein and the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm about two brothers, one good and one cruel, who become rivals for a queen's hand. The story culminates in the murder of the virtuous younger brother and the subsequent discovery of his bones, from which a minstrel makes a flute that sings of the crime. This chilling tale is brought to life in the cantata through music and a minstrel's flute, which exposes the truth at the royal court. This performance was recorded at Sala Nezahualc?yotl of the Centro Cultural Universitario in Mexico City, in 2012.
