Marcus Merriman "The Rough Wooings: Mary Queen of Scots 1542–1551" (Birlinn Ltd)
A really great look at the conflict between Scotland and England in the years 1542 to 1551. Merriman delves into the subject in great depth and yet addresses the wide international scope of the Rough Wooings. While the author does skip around a bit in a nonlinear fashion and at times appears unsure of the direction of his narrative, the solid research and attention to detail make this work an excellent study of the conflict and one of the best overviews of 16th-century Scotland I have encountered.

Das Lied Von Der Erde
Jun. 19th, 2021 11:29 amThis morning on BBC Radio 3 during the Building A Library section of Record Review composer Mahler's song symphony Das Lied Von Der Erde was compared with different recordings from Bruno Walter in the fifties to more modern recordings. The two final best selections, a modern version and the classic sixties recording by Klemperer with Christa Ludwig and Fritz Wunderlich - which I have in my collection. This version is also David Hurwitz's must-have as well.
Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde, 'Song of the Earth', is a set of six songs for two voices and orchestra, but is it a song-cycle or a symphony? Mahler certainly intended for Das Lied von der Erde to reflect the world in containing everything, the whole range of human emotions and earthly experience, but the work doesn't easily fall into either the category of song-cycles or truly symphonic works. Mahler drew his texts for Das Lied from a compendium called The Chinese Flute, a translation of Chinese poems by the German poet Hans Bethge.
Mahler wrote Das Lied von der Erde in 1908-9 within a year of losing his beloved daughter Maria and receiving the diagnosis of the heart condition that would kill him in 1911. The work begins and ends with two of Mahler's most famous songs: Das Trinklied vom Jammer der Erde (The Drinking Song of Earth’s Sorrows) and Der Abschied (The Farewell), a hauntingly beautiful, bleak, and heartrending farewell to life as the 'sun sets behind the mountains.' The intervening songs are the introspective‘Der Einsame im Herbst’ (The Lonely One in Autumn) for mezzo-soprano, the sprightly ‘Von der Jugend’ (Of Youth) for tenor, ‘Von der Schönheit’ (Of Beauty) depicting an innocent scene by a riverbank where girls are picking flowers but are then briefly threatened by the arrival of boys on horseback, and ‘Der Trunkene im Frühling’ (The Drunkard in Spring).
So for your listening pleasure, today here is that classic piece of late Mahlerien music -
Mahler "Das Lied von der Erde" Otto Klemperer (Complete)
"Das Lied von der Erde" by Gustav Mahler
1. Das Trinklied vom Jammer der Erde
2. Der Einsame im Herbets
3. Von der Jugend
4. Von der Schönheit
5. Der Trunkene im Frühling
6. Der Abschied
Philharmonia Orchestra &
New Philharmonia Orchestra
Otto Klemperer, conductor
London, 07.-08.XI.1964 &
06.-09.VII.1966
Not only did Otto Klemperer know Mahler personally, but he also had reason to be grateful to the composer, who helped him in the early stages of his career. Klemperer first conducted Das Lied von der Erde in 1924 and this recording dates from some 40 years later. Few tenors have rivaled Fritz Wunderlich’s glowing heroic lyricism, while Christa Ludwig, both opulent of tone and acutely sensitive, makes the final ‘Abschied’ an unforgettable experience.
This IS the version for me!
ENJOY

And for completion - David Hurwitz's reviews of the best versions of Das Lied Von Der Erde.
Repertoire: The BEST Mahler Das Lied von der Erde
This time I totally agree with him about the Klemperer version.
Mind you I would try the Haitink version if I see a copy going cheap.
