Christine Goerke Sings Mahler

World-renowned dramatic soprano Christine Goerke sings Mahler's tender and poignant Kindertotenlieder, a song cycle for voice and orchestra with texts from poems by Friedrich Rückert. Richard Wagner's Prelude and Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde and a new work by Gregory Spears complete the program.
 

“Ms. Goerke displays a big, blazing soprano that not only has the gale-force power and sheen to slice through Strauss’ huge orchestra, but also seamless legato and an entire paintbox of colors.”
