Just a few months before his death, Leonard Bernstein conducted the "Kindertotenlieder" (Songs on the Death of Children) by Gustav Mahler in a concert at Vienna's Musikvereinssaal with the Vienna Philharmonic. The soloist was the American baritone Thomas Hampson. The trade publication "Musik & Theater" wrote: "I know of no other baritone today who can profess a similar mastery of these Mahler song cycles on a vocal, emotional and textually sensitive level [...] a singular vocal accomplishment and a worthy conclusion of Bernstein's extensive Mahler discography."
