Have you ever been so moved by a book that it resonated within you long after the last page was turned? This must be how Gustav Mahler felt upon discovering the works of Friedrich Rückert, a favored poet among 19th-century composers. Inspired, he decided to extend his pleasure by setting five of his works to music. Decades earlier, Carl Maria von Weber found inspiration in a tale more like a fairy story: Oberon, King of the Elves. As for Jean Sibelius, nothing compared to the poetry of his Finnish homeland, which he dedicated his compositional life to.
