In May 1952, four of Gustav Mahler's greatest interpreters — Kathleen Ferrier, Julius Patzak, Mahler's protégé Bruno Walter, and the Vienna Philharmonic — made a recording of the composer's Das Lied that is hailed to this day as one of the greatest classical recordings ever issued. Also includes are the three Rückert-Lieder recorded by Ferrier and Walter. An essential disc for any classical fan — at an unbeatable price!

Ferrier's recording of three of the Rückert Lieder, heartfelt and monumental…magnetically intense.
— Penguin Guide
A finer performance than this would not be a song of earth", wrote the Record Guide (Collins, 1955) of this legendary performance which was recorded in Vienna in May 1952. … And beyond this there is Ferrier, an artist born to sing this music and singing it here at a time so close to her own death as to make this a real, truly harrowing song of farewell.

A legendary recording from the dawn of the LP era
