Florian Boesch's Mahler and Schumann wins BBC Music award 2019

Not that industry awards mean a thing, but sometimes they do pick good things : Florian Boesch and Malcolm Martineaus Mahler and sSchumann disc from Linn tops the vocal category.  Though I would have picked Stephane Degout's Enfer because it's more unusual (baroque depictions of Hell) Boesch's recoirding is a milestone : one of the finest Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen around, plus Schumann Liederkreis op 39. I's also a good way for Mahler fans to learn more about the Liedervtradition and its values.
