Beth Taylor and Julius Drake (Es sungen drei Engel - Mahler)

Happy Birthday, Mahler 🎂🎶

To celebrate, here’s a performance of “Es sungen drei Engel” — a luminous moment from the 2025 Leeds Song Festival, sung by Beth Taylor with Julius Drake at the piano.

This hauntingly beautiful piece, which Mahler wove into the fifth movement of his Symphony No. 3, sets a folk text from Des Knaben Wunderhorn, telling of three angels singing sweetly. Mahler at his most tender and transcendent. ✨
