Notes & Reviews:

The poems that inspired Mahler to Das Lied von der Erde in 1908 had been printed a year earlier in Hans Bethge's Die chinesische Flöte ('The Chinese Flute'). But before that they had already traveled huge distances in both time and space. Hans Bethge's poems were in fact paraphrases of Hans Hellmann's 1905 collection Chinesische Lyrik, which itself was based on French translations of 8th century Tang dynasty poems. The Hongkong-based enthusiast Daniel Ng has now, through untiring research, established the most likely sources of Bethge's poems, and prepared a Chinese Song of the Earth, replacing the German texts with the original Chinese poems.
