The  Songs of a Journeyman are Gustav Mahler's earliest masterpiece. He composed it in 1884/85 when he was unhappily in love with the soprano Johanna Richter, and this experience, but also his dream of a "beautiful world" characterize the verses he wrote himself and the music. The cycle will be performed by the young South Tyrolean baritone Andrè Schuen, who causes a sensation as an opera star and is at the same time a first-class interpreter of lieder. A little later, Mahler also quoted the Gesellen-Lieder in his First Symphony, which collaged very heterogeneous sound spheres and provided the model for a “diverse” work of art. The music should sound “like a natural sound” is the playing instruction for the first movement, which plays with the alienated cuckoo call. In the symphony, Mahler also uses folk music echoes of the Ländler and the waltz. In the third movement, he presents the canon Frère Jacques as a funeral march in a ghastly minor variant – and counteracts this "funeral" with the "merriment and banality of an interfering Bohemian band of musicians". A sound experience!

English

Die Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen sind Gustav Mahlers frühestes Meisterwerk. Er schuf sie 1884/85, als er unglücklich in die Sopranistin Johanna Richter verliebt war, und diese Erfahrung, aber auch sein Traum von einer «schönen Welt» prägen die von ihm selbst gedichteten Verse und die Musik. Vorgetragen wird der Zyklus vom jungen Südtiroler Bariton Andrè Schuen, der als Opernstar für Furore sorgt und zugleich ein Liedinterpret ersten Ranges ist. Die Gesellen-Lieder zitierte Mahler wenig später auch in seiner Ersten Sinfonie, die ganz heterogene Klangsphären collagiert und das Musterbild eines «diversen» Kunstwerks abgibt. «Wie ein Naturlaut» solle die Musik klingen, lautet die Spielanweisung zum Kopfsatz, der mit dem verfremdeten Kuckucksruf spielt. Mahler verwendet in der Sinfonie auch volksmusikalische Anklänge an den Ländler und den Walzer. Im dritten Satz präsentiert er den Kanon Frère Jacques als Trauermarsch in einer schauerlichen Moll Variante – und konterkariert dieses «Leichenbegängnis» durch die «Lustigkeit und Banalität einer sich dreinmischenden böhmischen Musikantenkapelle». Ein Klangerlebnis!
