About This Song
About "Des Knaben Wunderhorn : Mahler: Des Knaben Wunderhorn: Der Tamboursg'sell (Live at Severance Hall, Cleveland, 2010)" by Christian Gerhaher
Der Tamboursg’sell is Mahler’s bleakest march—Gerhaher drags each word like a condemned man’s boots on gravel. The drumbeat is a heartbeat slowing to silence, the live recording capturing every breath of a soldier’s final, resigned farewell.
