Hindemith’s cycle “Das Marienleben” sets to music Rainer Maria Rilke’s 15 poems written under the same collective title. The poetry appeared in 1912, Hindemith’s setting in 1923. In 1948, Hindemith revisited the music and produced a revised version, the one most performed today. This concert offers the seldom-heard original work of 1923.
