Kindertotenlieder - Leber Film Part 1 - Janet Baker

Uploaded by losdosabuelos on Feb 25, 2010
This is Part One of Titus Leber´s first fictional short film (1976) - Kindertotenlieder ("Songs of dead children) - which won awards at the Valladolid International Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, and was Austria's nominee for best short film for the Academy Awards. It is a multi-layered experimental movie dealing with a mother's lamentation for her dead child. The film draws from Hans Christian Andersen's The Story of a Mother and on Gustav Mahler's cycle of songs based on the poems by Fredrich Ruckert. During the course of the film, the entire song cycle is presented (but not in the original order). Leber's film is not an illustration of Mahler's songs but rather a visual poem that is embedded in Mahler's composition.
The Song Cycle is sung in this 1966 recording by Janet Baker with the Hallé Orchestra under Sir John Barbirolli.
This version was digitalised from a faded VHS recording and restored and edited using Sony Vegas.

@sluggo06 better focus on what is here and leave the place as you would like it to be born into, by physically and practically bringing heaven to earth.

Dear "LosDosAbuelos" ... Well, OhMy... some of planet Earth's most sorrowful sounds... music. And I thank you for your kindness and thoughtfulness in submitting these heart and soul-wrenching musical agonies... The good and dear Gustav Mahler himself experienced the death of his child, as did a number of his life-friends. Again, Muchas Gracias to you, losdosabuelos. Sincerely, jonycuddles gert.
