"San Francisco Symphony/Michael Tilson Thomas \"Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde\" (SFS Media)  Michael Tilson Thomas&amp;apos; cycle of Gustav Mahler&amp;apos;s symphonies nears completion with Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth), a symphonic song cycle with texts drawn from Hans Bethge&amp;apos;s German translations of ancient Chinese poems. Like much of Mahler&amp;apos;s music &amp;mdash; only more so &amp;mdash; this work throbs with nostalgia and dramatic introspection, inviting the listener \"to contemplate life&amp;apos;s brevity,\" as annotator Michael Steinberg puts it."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
