Gustav Mahler

During the 2011 Mahler Centennial, Thomas Hampson’s dedication to Gustav Mahler resulted, among other things, in a new recording of Mahler’s Des Knaben Wunderhorn with the Wiener Virtuosen Chamber Ensemble, a project funded by the Hampsong Foundation. The Foundation also supported the publication of the English translation of Jens Malte Fischer’s new biography of Mahler.
