Featuring Thomas Quasthoff—one of the world’s greatest baritones—as soloist, the concert featured a performance of Mahler’s “Song of a Dead Child.”\n“Songs on the Death of Children” is based on the poems of the same name by Friedrich Rückert, a masterpiece in which Mahler selected five poems from a collection of 425 that chronicled the poet’s emotions following the successive deaths of his two children in the winter of 1833. Kvasthoff sang with rich, nuanced emotion, delivering a moving and masterful performance.\nThe first half featured Webern’s *Six Pieces for Orchestra*. This work was also written in response to the death of Webern’s own mother, and the fourth movement was composed as a funeral march. The main work in the second half is Richard Strauss’s symphonic poem *Thus Spoke Zarathustra*, said to have been inspired by the writings of Nietzsche.\nIt is a dynamic performance that makes full use of the large orchestra.\nKing International\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arthaus Musik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53374661132577,"sku":"4909346023949","price":5346.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4909346023949.jpg?v=1787632243","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4909346023949","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
