Get Deutsche Grammophon 427302 for the song. Lucia Popp is the soprano, and Leonard Bernstein conducts the Concertgebouw of Amsterdam. It was recorded in 1986.

Of Bernstein's 3 recordings of Mahler's Second Symphony the first (1962) is the best, but it's not available any more. The second recording (1977) is perverse, and the third (1988) comes close to the first, but does not surpass it.
