Gerald Finley, baritone
Julius Drake, piano

Canadian baritone Gerald Finley contrasts some of Schubert's most dramatic songs with a selection of the folk poetry settings Mahler made, and which went on to inform much of his later work.

Perennial Schubert favourites Im Fruhling, Der Schiffer and Erlkonig join less wlll-known masterpieces such as his near-symphonic Goethe setting Grenzen der Menschheit. And Mahler was drawn to the collection of German folk poetry 'Youth's Magic Horn' for its naturalness and emotional range, from satirical to bitterly tragic; much of his musical responses to these texts resurfaces in his epic later symphonies.
