Mahler wrote the texts as well as the music to this song cycle. They deal with the titular 'wayfarer', who has been seen to reflect the composer himself, at this time in a stage somewhere between 'apprentice' and recognized 'master' and who had been moving from town to town. Composer: Gustav Mahler Performer: Kathryn Rudge (Mezzo) Performer: Christopher Glynn (Piano) Recording date: 26 November 2017 Date of broadcast: 04 January 2019
