Known for enjoying live performances and having an affinity for late Mahler, Sanderling's reading of Das Lied von der Erde is inherently musical. Mitchinson's 'firm, heroic tone' is ideal for this role, with the BBC Philharmonic providing a sympathetic accompaniment. Schumann's Fourth Symphony makes an excellent filler.
