- Description: The shimmering string harmonics at the opening of Gustav Mahler's First Symphony bring to mind the suspended breath of spring, and will have signaled even to the very first audiences that a new symphonic era was being ushered in. Soon enough the composer introduces some of the elements that would become key components of his musical language sounds of nature (here cuckoo calls) are combined with quasi-militaristic fanfares and 'high-art' chromatic wanderings in cellos, as if to illustrate Mahler's view of the symphony as an all-embracing art form. The symphony, which the composer originally gave the subtitle 'Titan', borrows extensively from the song cycle Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen. But Mahler also incorporates elements of Moravian popular music (in the second movement) and - in the slow third movement - famously quotes a minor-mode version of the children's rhyme Bruder Martin (also known as Frere Jacques). The finale transports the listener to a world of Gothic theatricality reminiscent of Grand Opera, before arriving - after a number of false starts - at the symphony's heroic chorale-like ending. This symphonic 'world-in-microcosm' is here brought to life by the Minnesota Orchestra and Osmo Vanska on the fourth installment in a series which has earned the team the description 'among the finest exponents of Mahler's music' on the website allmusic.

![Schubert / Duo Kemi / Kellermann - Schubert Sonatas - SUPER-AUDIO CD [Super Audio CD (SACD)]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/dec475bc-2f1c-4384-8ccc-69c74f729233.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
As Jacob Kellermann points out in the commentary to this album, there is an unbroken tradition of performing arrangements of Franz Schubert's music on the guitar. Already in his lifetime some of his most popular songs appeared with simplified guitar accompaniment, marketed by music publishers wanting to exploit the growing market for domestic music-making. Schubert himself composed very little for the instrument, and there are doubts regarding Schubert's own skills on the instrument. Nevertheless it is well known that the guitar was in fashion with the middle-class Viennese among which Schubert and his circle of friends moved. In his notes, Kellermann argues that elements of the light, melody-driven and carefree musical style favoured in that environment and present in stylized form in much of Schubert's music is the very aspect that makes it so inviting to play on the guitar. DuoKeMi was formed by Kellermann and Daniel Migdal in 2006, and the two are constantly aiming to expand the repertoire for their combination of instruments. This has resulted in a number of commissions as well as new transcriptions, often by Kellermann himself as in the case of the much-loved Arpeggione Sonata recorded here.
