Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde (Chinese version)

Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde: Von der Schönheit



Mahler’s masterpiece, Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth) was after Hans Bethge’s “Chinese Flute”, which was based on Chinese ancient poetry by Li Bai, Wang Wei, Qian Qi and Meng Haoran.


In 2005, a Cantonese version was prepared by Daniel Ng, Cantonese because it is the closest to the lost 8th Century Northern Middle Chinese dialect in which the original texts were written.
