Isn't the text of Das Lied based on a Chinese poem? My CD is out of reach
at this moment, but I'm sure the insert includes the text.

I have the Wunderful Wunderlich performance.  If there is a complete
Kathleen Ferrier performance of Das Lied on CD, I'd appreciate knowing
about its availability.  The "Chinese" influence in this work by Mahler
is indeed palpable.
