Gustav MAHLER (1860-1911)
'Ich hab' ein glühend Messer'
Lied from 'Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen' (No. 3)
Text: Gustav Mahler
Composition: circa 1885
Orchestrated circa 1891
First performance: 16 March 1896 in Berlin (Philharmonie)
Thomas Oliemans, baritone
Residentie Orkest,
conducted by Jun Märkl
Concert: 7 February 2015 in The Hague (Dr. Anton Philipszaal)
For this lied, there are two major discrepancies between the vocal score and the full score: in bar 16, 'So tief!' (heard here at 0:25) is followed in the vocal score with the words 'Es schneid't so weh und tief!', which are cut in the full score; and in bar 40, the placement and duration of the notes for the words 'O weh!' (heard at 1:01) are different. In both instances, I have edited the vocal score to make it reflect the full score and fit this performance.
