While I can't argue with _Im Abendrot_ in its entirety as the closing part of this video, I did then have to listen to _September_ and _Beim Schlafengehen_ for their transcendent horn and violin solos respectively.
Germany was once known as the "land of poets and thinkers", not of musicians. When a David Hurwitz (🤮) effectively dismisses the entire genre of Lieder as quaint or whatever, it is an indication of a fundamental miscalculation. Strauss, Mahler, Wolf, Brahms, Pfitzner, Löwe, Robert Franz, Schumann and obviously Schubert were all arguably first song composers. And not coincidentally, Richard Wagner, who was responsible for joining opera, symphony and drama into a unified art work, in his capacity as symphonic conductor, and as the founder of an entire school of conducting style, referred to "melos" as the guiding principle in conducting symphonies.
