About "Das Lied von der Erde: VI. Der Abschied" by Sarah Connolly
Mahler’s 'Der Abschied' is a farewell that stretches into eternity: Sarah Connolly’s voice floats over a spare, crystalline orchestra, each phrase a leaf falling. The calm is devastating—a sunset that knows it is the last, holding beauty and grief in a single, trembling breath.
