Des Knaben Wunderhorn

An important addition to Claudio Abbado's acclaimed Mahler discography, this is Abbado's 1st recording of the complete Des Knaben Wunderhorn cycle, including not only all Mahler's Wunderhorn songs but also "Urlicht" (from the 2nd Symphony). The combination of Abbado, the Berlin Philharmonic and Mahler already has a magic ring to it - add 2 of the world's leading vocalists, Anne Sofie Von Otter and Thomas Quasthoff, and you can expect nothing less than a definitive recording.
