Sung by a female? Except this was written by Ruckert about his own experience on this subject. If anything, it should be sung by a male.

This may not be quite the equal of Fischer-Dieskau's iconic recording, but Suaste gives a very connected performance here. He does sound under-miked at times, however; the sound balance could have been better.

Did you know that Canada had Concentration camps during World War 2? They interned Japanes-Canadians.

And pure ignorance and prejudice...perhaps s/he should examine his/her people's past...I'm sure there are skeletons in that particular closet too...as there are in my own nation's (Britain).

"Germans will never live past their history"It is very sad you feel this way. I don't think any normal person can deny what happened during the war and especially to the Jewish people. But to say that Germany as a country has not changed since and even more the German people is simply wrong and misleading.

sanjosemikeSorry but I think your comment is quite strange. Why do some people, mostly out of Anglo-Saxon countries always refer to the Holocaust when it`s about German/Austrian composers or writers.Rückert created the poems of the Kindertotenlieder in the 1830`s. And Mahler composed his lieder from 1901 to 1904. The Nazi reign was from 1933 to 1945!

You´re right. Oboe has jumped.In jazz you have always the possibility to play your fault again and so it´s no fault anymore. But in classic...

I also love Mahler's "Kindertotenlieder" (as well as his other work), but that's a bit over the top, I think.If you do so it must be "Nun will die Sonn' so hell aufgeh'n", your capitalization is wrong.

sanjosemikeWhen I hear this sad music and certain parts of Mahler's symphonies (especially 6th symphony etc.) it seems that this sensitive artist had a premonition of the disaster that would strike his people 30 years after his death! The terrible destiny of his niece Alma Rosé, daughter of his sister Justine. If Mahler had lived until 1940 or so, the Nazis would have deported him to Auschwitz, where his niece conducted the girl's orchestra which had to accompany the Jews to the gas-chambers!

Mahler, a converted Jew wrote these desperately sad songs years before the Holocaust. More Jewish children were murdered by Germans during the Holocaust than any other tragedy of recollection. Germans will never live past their history. Neither will any "reputed" god of man's making...sanjosemike

noitcerruser:Yes, Mahler IS the best!You must hear his music in the concert hall. The difference of listening the same symphony of Mahler from Radio or CD and listening in the concert hall "live" is incredibly considerable. It is like the difference of seeing a film in black and white or in colours!
