Revelge - Songs from Des Knaben Wunderhorn

The variety in more transcendent, sometimes religious songs, poignant and jovial soldier songs, comic fables and folk tunes in an overarching and ever recognizable Mahlerian idiom makes these songs so appealing to perform and to listen to. Though very famous in their orchestral versions, Mahler composed most of them originally for piano and voice. These primary versions don't get performed as often as the orchestral ones do.
