The finale, Das himmlische Leben (The Heavenly Life), is sung by soprano Laura Claycomb. The text describes a child's vision of Saint Peter, angels baking bread, and John letting the little lamb out to graze. It is the key to unlocking the symphony. Claycomb’s performance is a highlight of the disc. She sings with a "boyish simplicity and charm," exactly as Mahler directed. The recording places her voice perfectly—close enough to be intimate but balanced within the orchestral texture so she never sounds like she is singing over the band. The final, hushed phrases that conclude the symphony are so delicate they seem to evaporate into the ether. Claycomb’s performance is a highlight of the disc

Playable on standard CD players and Super Audio CD players.
