    ○ Introduction to the works
    Alma and Gustav Mahler were an unlikely couple. Their wedding on March 2, 1902 in Vienna's Karlskirche was soon followed by disillusionment. Close friends already warned against the union. The conductor Bruno Walter, for example, wrote at the time: "He is 41 and she is 22, she a celebrated beauty, accustomed to a brilliant social life, he so distant from the world and fond of solitude."
    Even before their wedding, Gustav Mahler forbade his fiancée to compose, as he found such a "rivalry relationship" simply "ridiculous." At the end of 1901, he wrote to her, "But that you must become as I need you to be if we are to be happy, my wife and not my college - that is certain!" A clear understanding of roles and the prelude to a marriage that was in crisis until the year of Mahler's death in 1911. Gustav Mahler later realized how his ban on composing affected his wife. As a kind of reparation, he therefore published her Five Songs in 1910 with Universal Edition in Vienna, which had already been written in 1900 and 1901, based on texts by Richard Dehmel, Otto Erich Hartleben, Otto Julius Bierbaum, Rainer Maria Rilke and Heinrich Heine. These are sonorous and highly accomplished piano songs in the style of late Viennese Romanticism, certainly inspired by her teacher Zemlinsky. Alma Schindler creates flourishing melodic arches over refined harmonies. Two opulent songs ("Die Stille Stadt" and "In meines Vaters Garten") are followed by three delicately crafted songs. Finnish conductor and composer Jorma Panula orchestrated them sensitively and performed them for the first time in 2003 with recorded on CD for the first time with the singer Lilli Paasikivi.

    Nestas magníficas canções, encontramos Alma, literalmente! São melodias apaixonantes, tratadas musicalmente com uma delicadeza que mistura amor e sofrimento numa interpretação detalhisticamente magnífica.

    Really nice. The orchestration is very Mahler-esque, and the tunes also feel like Mahler. Lehmkuhl is perfect. Thank you for sharing this.

    I am doing this piece in October. May I ask where you got the score and parts?

      As a part of the public broascasting service in Germany we are lucky to have an archive filled with scores, which we have acquired from the music publishers. You will certainly be able to purchase the sheet music there as well.

      The Finnish conductor and composer Jorma Panula orchestrated them and then recorded them for the first time in 2003 on CD. Perhaps he can help you if you contact him or his Academy directly.

    Les musiques inconnues pâtissent souvent d'une interprétation médiocre. Des musiciens de second ordre essayent de sortir de l'ombre en dégottant des "raretés". .L'intérêt pour les musiciens "moyens" ne s'en trouve guère suscité. Rien de cela ici, la belle voix de la mezzo, son superbe timbre, accompagnée par un bel orchestre, dirigé avec finesse par l'excellent Christian Măcelaru
    font apparaître la musique d'Alma Mahler dans une lumière splendide. Musique originale, surprenante par moment. Ce n'est pas du Gustav Mahler au féminin, ce n'est pas du RIchard Strauss, cela tend un peu vers le premier Schönberg, mais avec une sensibilité et des accents très personnels. Bravo!

    A very bad singer... It was my duty to lern this songs, but it was a kind of torture to listen until the end. Horrible intonation and vibrato, no phrases...

      I like her voice. I like the low key vibrato. Just heard her in Paris Opera and she was epic!
