Altenberg Lieder by Alban Berg Alban Bergs Altenberg Lieder are called in full Five Orchestral Songs to Picture Postcard Texts by Peter Altenberg Op. 4. Altenberg allegedly sent short poems on postcards to his friends, five of which Berg chose for his song cycle. The texts deal with the stormy but beautiful condition of the soul, and sensations of love and longing. Anne Sofie von Otter, mezzo soprano Swedish mezzosoprano Anne Sofie von Otter made her debut with the Concertgebouworkest in 1996. She earned an international reputation as an outstanding Octavian (Strausss Der Rosenkavalier) with performances at the Royal Opera House, Bavarian State Opera, Paris Opera, and the Vienna State Opera. Her busy opera and concert schedule takes Anne Sofie von Otter to all corners of the globe. She also produced a wealth of acclaimed recordings; her double CD, Douce France, received a Grammy Award in 2015.
