Fünf Gedichte von Paul Celan (1959/1960)

Reimann's early musical setting of five poems by Paul Celan has meanwhile become well-established in the competition and concert repertoire. In contrast to many other songs by Reimann, the piano part is not very difficult so that these pieces are of great appeal to many singers and pianists. The dynamic markings and ossia variants in the vocal part of our new edition have been taken from the personal copy of the composer and were thoroughly prepared by Reimann during his concert activities as accompanist of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.
