Description: This 1922 "romantic cantata" sets a series of loosely connected Eichendorff texts with several orchestral interludes (which take up about a quarter of the 95-minute length). The mood is inward, philosophical, the music a brilliant example of variegated orchestral color, from chamber-quality intimacy to occasional full-throated intensity. A neglected late Romantic masterpiece. 2 CDs. German-English texts. Solveig Kringelborn (soprano), Nathalie Stutzmann (mezzo), Christopher Ventris (tenor), Robert Holl (bass), Berlin Radio Choir, Deutsches-Symphonie Orchester Berlin; Ingo Metzmacher.
