Der Abend is mein Buch
Songs to poems by Rainer Maria Rilke.

This song recital is an encounter with the poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926). Rilke was one of the most influential poets of his time, pushing the boundaries of traditional poetry. His timeless poems are rich in images and metaphors, in a search for a deeper understanding of the world.

Rilke's poetry has inspired composers to this day. Composers such as Barber, Eben, Simon, Pejačević, Orthel and Lieberson let the evocative, elusive texts capture the imagination in their songs.
