You;re losing ground Mats! tate recorded DatM in June 1985 a few days
after giving the UK premiere. It's been deleted for some time I believe.

Well, he recorded 4 with lisa della Casa - a performance I don't much care
for, particularly the finale. She may have been a great Straussian but,
as Kiri te kanawa also showed, that doesn't make a great (or even good)
Mahlerian.
However: Das Lied underrated and neglected? Many people consider it
Mahler's greatest work and many people who do not like Mahler's symphonies
consider it his *only* great work.
