Sieben Lieder – Main page
Catalogue Homepage |
For a
comprehensive listing of recordings of Mahler’s music to 2009, see Péter
Fülöp, Mahler Discography, second edition (Toronto: Mikrokosmos
Comp. Ltd,
2010 (PFMD2)). The Fülöp numbers are those assigned in the second edition of
this reference work, and supersede those of the 1995 edition.
(N.B. Fülöp lists the two Wunderhorn settings separately, so his
numbering of them and of the Rückert settings is NOT that of the Sieben
Lieder used below.) The discography offers separate chronological
listings of the versions with orchestral accompaniment, and with piano. The selective list below focuses on
first recordings (of both the piano and orchestral versions) and
recordings by musicians who worked with or heard Mahler, or have other
significance in the performing history of the work: the ordering is by
song number and date.
