Biography

Children’s songs – dance songs – satirical songs. Among Mahler’s early songs for voice and piano is a number of nursery songs, including variants in the form of dance songs and satirical songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful surprise 30 Dec 2008
By Susila
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Having ordered this CD for the Stephen Foster songs, I was wonderfully surprised at the haunting, Scots-like 'Ashokan' pieces. My only wish is that there were more of both - Ashokan and Foster - on this CD, especially since Foster wrote so many great songs. 'Jeanie' is there, of course, along with 'Beautiful Dreamer' and others like the unforgettable 'Hard times, come again no more' - but what about such lesser-known ones as 'Was my brother in the battle' or 'Gentle Annie'?Anyway: I keep re-playing it. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming 2 Feb 2009
By JB HP CONNOR
Format:Audio CD
Foster - Songs; Ungar - Ashokan Farewell
The title track (Ashokan Farewell) is a haunting melody beautifully played by the composer. The rest of disc is a bonus, including further works by Jay Ungar and songs by Stephen Foster. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ashokan Farewell 22 Sep 2010
By Longstreet
Format:Audio CD
The early tracks celebrate American farming and the seasons, great stuff. Everyone loves Ashokan Farewell, but so much more, Bonaparte's Retreat/Hoedown - wonderful. The collection of Foster songs is superb, and Thomas Hampson's rendition of Hard Times, come again no more, is spellbinding.
