Gustav Mahler’s surrender to the relentless march of time is conveyed in his tragic and introspective Sixth Symphony. In response to this deeply poignant work, Alma Mahler’s Lieder call forth with consummate artistry the memories of a life in which love and nature brought a measure of solace, rendered by the deep and soulful voice of young breakthrough artist Beth Taylor.
