Bernstein-Mahler, Rückert-Lieder

"Rückert-Lieder", a song cycle of five Lieder for voice and orchestra or piano by Gustav Mahler, based on poems written by Friedrich Rückert. The five Lieder comprising the cycle are: 1. Blicke mir nicht in die Lieder! (Do not look at my songs!) 2. Ich atmet' einen linden Duft (I breathed a gentle fragrance) 3. Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen (I am lost to the world) 4. Um Mitternacht (At midnight) 5. Liebst du um Schönheit (If you love for beauty) The first four songs were premiered on 29 January 1905 in Vienna, Mahler conducting himself, together with his Kindertotenlieder (also on poems by Rückert). The last song, Liebst du um Schönheit, was not orchestrated by Mahler himself but by Max Puttmann, an employee of the first publisher. The set of songs is not a cycle in the narrowest sense, because the Lieder are independent, connected only by the poetry and common themes. However, they were published together and most often have been performed together and come to be known as the Rückert-Lieder, although Mahler did set more texts of Rückert.
