Description
We celebrate Mahler on his birthday today, 7 July (1860), with a song from his Rückert Lieder cycle - a cycle he began composing also on a 7 July, in 1901 at his lakeside villa in Maiernigg.
The baritone Thomas Hampson collaborates with Leonard Bernstein and the Wiener Philharmoniker in a performance at the Musikverein in Vienna from 1991.
Watch out for the close thematic and emotional link between this particular song "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen" and the famous Adagietto from Mahler's 5th symphony.

Not long before his death, Leonard Bernstein recorded an important complement to his complete filmed survey of Mahler's Symphonies: filmed performances of the composer's three great song cycles, with American baritone Thomas Hampson. Here they present the Rückert Lieder, composed at the start of the 20th century. Not strictly speaking conceived as a cycle – and with no fixed order for performance – the songs are nevertheless a staple of the repertoire, especially in their orchestral guise. They present the quintessence of Mahler's musical language at the start of his final decade, with "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen" arguably his most celebrated song of all.
