Werk: Das Knaben Wunderhorn: Verlor'ne Müh

South Korean soprano Sumi Hwang's Mahler, Richard Strauss and Brahms from Hans Graf are musical and geographical synergy in Singapore, heralding the Lunar New Year. 

After their "military" theme last week, Daniele Gatti and Markus Werba turned towards nature for their second programme with the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.

Theodor Currentzis and his musicAeterna bring blistering detail and revelatory playing to Wunderhorn-period Mahler, but it ultimately proves short on warmth. 

Salonen has an obvious vision on how to conduct Mahler, relentelsly driving the orchestra in the direction he wants.

Soprano Lisa Larsson and pianist Roland Pöntinen dispelled the midwinter gloom with a heavy dose of Scandinavian Romanticism and the Dutch première of Rolf Martinsson's Songs on Poems by Emily Dickinson.
