Bernarda Fink's 2014 album on Harmonia Mundi offers a representative selection of Gustav Mahler's songs from all periods, provided with varied accompaniments. While seven of the songs feature voice and piano, where Fink is joined by pianist Anthony Spiri, she is supported in Arnold Schoenberg's chamber arrangement of Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen by the Gustav Mahler-Ensemble, and in Kindertotenlieder by the Tonkünstler-Orchester Niederösterreich, under the direction of Andrés Orozco-Estrada. This mix of instrumentation and ensembles contributes more color and expressive depth than the conventional recital format, and Fink seems to relish the opportunity to interpret Mahler in different contexts. The early songs are adequately conveyed by Fink's luminous mezzo-soprano voice and Spiri's sympathetic playing, but the richer emotional content of the mature songs requires (at minimum) the resources of the chamber ensemble in Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen, and absolutely demands the full orchestra in Kindertote
