Description

Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) composed SONGS TO POEMS BY RUECKERT (SONGS AFTER R�CKERT; R�CKERT-LIEDER) between 1901 and 1902. They were not conceived of as a cycle, with each song only connected by the poet Friedrich R�ckert and the themes. But they were published together, first as SIEBEN LIEDER AUS LETZTER ZEIT (SEVEN SONGS OF LATTER DAYS) with two additional Mahler songs, then with only the five songs. They have simply come to be known as R�ckert-Lieder and are now most frequently performed together, although Mahler did set other R�ckert poems aside from these five. The third song, ICH BIN DER WELT ABHANDEN GEKOMMEN (I AM LOST TO THE WORLD), transposed to the key of F in this version for high voice, distills the lonely plight of the artist forgotten by the world but finding solace in art and introspection. Upon reflection, Mahler once declared, “It is truly me.” Instrumentation: 0.1+EH.2.2: 2.0.0.0: Hp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Solo High Voice. Reprint edition.
