Having Considered Gustav Mahler's symphonies, what about his lieder?

Das klagende Lied
Three Lieder: "Im Lenz"; "Winterlied"; "Maitanz im Grünen"
Lieder und Gesänge Vol. I
Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen
Lieder und Gesänge Vol. II
Lieder und Gesänge Vol. III
"Das himmlische Leben"
Des Knaben Wunderhorn"
Rückert-Lieder
Kindertotenlieder

Other options:

Who's Gustave Mahler
I really don't like Late Romantic/Neo-Modernist Lieder.
And specially for John the OFM "Take me to your Lieder!"

Take me to your lieder!?

The German children march along,
Heads full of fairy tales and song.
They sing of angels in their lieder,
They read of witches in their reader.
I think their little heads must swim;
The songs are jolly,
The tales are Grimm.

tss tss tss …

Lieder = songs

(and don't ask about the difference between "Lieder" and "Gesänge"!)

@MahanMan

Das Lied von der Erde.

138SquadronRAF08 Jun 2012 9:08 a.m. PST

Das Lied von der Erde was included in the symphonic choices – partly because it was Mahler's attempt to break the 'curse of the 9th' partly because Mahler titled it Eine Symphonie für eine Tenor- und eine Alt- (oder Bariton-) Stimme und Orchester (nach Hans Bethges "Die chinesische Flöte"), implying that he felt it was not within the normal paramaters of a Lieder.
