About

The five songs that make up the cycle “In grosser Sehnsuchet” (“In deepest longing”) each present a portrait of a famous woman from history. They include the artists Camille Claudel and Frida Kahlo, the political activist Rosa Luxemburg and Louise Michel, the French arsonist killed in the Paris Commune of 1871.
 
Finally, there is a song depicting the Swedish Queen, Kristina, who abdicated the throne in 1654. The piece is scored for soprano, piano, violin and cello and is a mixture of pure singing, speech and recitative.
