Now for this week you're going to need a little time to listen to the music track, as it's Mahler. Here I know that She Who Must Be Obeyed will be turning off as she doesn't like Mahler. I've tried sneaking him in from time to time, but S.W.M.B.O. always seems to spot it and asks in that special way wives have: "What's that you've put on?" This is Urlicht (Primal Light) and it's from the Resurrection Symphony (No.2).
It is also sung in a song cycle called Das Knaben Wunderhorn, but it doesn't have the same oomph. Here Mahler throws everything at it and one comment on the site says 11:15 gives them goosebumps. I quite agree. What do you think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIkCcJIqUeI&feature=related
