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 second song, ICH ATMET’ EINEN LINDEN DUFT! (I BREATHED A DELICATE FRAGRANCE), here offered in the original key of D for medium voice, paints an evocative summertime scene.
