German Romantics wore their hearts on their sleeves and left behind a legacy of lush and tender melodies. The traveling journeyman in Mahler's Songs of a Wayfarer sings of love's various stages with sounds of sparkling birdcalls and furious storms from the orchestra. A German Requiem also paints devotion using rich and towering choral tones. Feel the emotional power of each piece as they move you with messages that ring as fresh and wise today as when they were first written.
