La canción de la tierra

La canción de la tierra is a profound and enigmatic symphonic song cycle by Gustav Mahler, blending the intimacy of vocal music with the grandeur of a symphony. This masterpiece, inspired by ancient Chinese poems, is a journey through life, love, joy, and sorrow, all under the vast canvas of nature. Composed for two vocalists—a tenor and a contralto or baritone—and a full orchestra, La canción de la tierra is a symphony that explores the depths of human emotion and existential contemplation. It's a work that demands attention, inviting the listener to immerse themselves in its rich tapestry of sound and meaning, making it one of Mahler's most captivating and introspective compositions.
