Soprano Anja Harteros is a singer perhaps more esteemed by German opera fans than by the public at large. She's less of a rafter-shaker than some others in Wagner, but she's an interpreter who brings an uncanny sense of the text. This group of orchestral songs by Wagner, Berg, and Mahler (the Wagner Wesendonck-Lieder are heard in the orchestration by Felix Mottl) absolutely plays to her strengths. The canvas here, smaller than opera, reveals the remarkable range of colors in her voice, from the just slightly smoky low end to the radiant, coruscating top. Her articulation of the words, which will put the sense of the song across directly to anyone with the slightest understanding of German, is especially miraculous here; Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen from Mahler's Rückert-Lieder, later reused in the Adagietto of the Symphony No. 5, is as good a place as any to start sampling with this melody that has entered popular culture but has rarely been so deeply excavated as it is here. These three song cycles are not rare, but to put them together back to back requires a singer with extraordinary control. The songs, except for one of the Rückert-Lieder, are all in similar tempos, and Harteros pulls it off. The live Münchner Philharmoniker sound is excellent and adds to the razor's-edge excitement of the whole, which is an extraordinary thing.
