From the symphony, the largest form for the largest orchestra, to the song, the smallest form for the smallest ensemble, would seem to be an enormous step. Mahler nonetheless brought them together and interwove them in Das Lied von der Erde. Iván Fischer leads the Budapest Festival Orchestra and soloists Gerhild Romberger and Robert Dean Smith in this unity of symphony and song.
