“Eliza Brown’s Ich ben der welt abhanden gekommen – a work for cello, soprano, and electronics inspired by Gustav Mahler’s setting of the same Rückert text – was, for this listener, the most fascinating and revelatory on the disc…. This is art song that alternates between feeling like Mahler and feeling like Mahler played through a radio on the moon.”
