Music to listen to before you emigrate to a desert island
For any singer or instrumentalist listening to music is an essential aid to performance interpretation and style. Music also enriches our lives, particularly in difficult times.
“My idea is that there is music in the air, music all around us; the world is full of it, and you simply take as much as you require.”
Elgar

Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen - Mahler
Dame Janet Baker. Sublime!

Symphony no. 8 - Mahler
A recording from 1959. I think this is the best recording ever of this 'out of this world' epic, with great attention to detail and tempo and all the finer points of Mahler's scoring come through clearly.
