Gustav Mahler - Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen

Composer: Gustav Mahler (7 July 1860 -- 18 May 1911) Orchestra: Wiener Philharmoniker Conductor: Bruno walter Soloist: Kathleen Ferrier (contralto) Year of recording: 1952 Rückert-Lieder No. 3: "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen" [I am lost to the world], song for voice & orchestra (or piano), written in 1901. This orchestral song begins with a mournful melody played by solo English horn. This melody is then restated and extended by the singer during the first stanza, which speaks of the artists isolation in a world that already thinks him dead. The tempo increases slightly for the second stanza, during which the artist reflects that he does not really care what the world thinks. The third stanza is remarkably peaceful as the artist describes the other world in which he resides: I live alone in my heaven, in my love, in my song. The gentle consonant-dissonant alternation of the violins and English horn in the coda seems to portray the artist staring beyond the horizon into his musical paradise. Many consider "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen", as Mahlers greatest song, one of his most profound and moving works; it was of immense personal significance for Mahler.
