Mahler’s great symphony of six songs on texts from an anthology\nof Chinese poetry was composed in summer 1908 – a period of anxiety\nand grief for the composer. The work celebrates the pleasures of\nwine and beauty and the joys of friendship, culminating in the\noverwhelming Abschied, a movement lasting half an hour, in which\nthe poet takes farewell from his friend and from life.
