Cailin Marcel Manson | On The Brink: Songs from Fin-de-siècle Vienna | Faculty Artist Recital Vienna, 1900. The city has never been more brilliant, and everyone can feel it coming apart. Three song cycles from that moment, sung in a single evening. Wolf’s Michelangelo-Lieder , his last completed work, setting a sculptor’s poems about mortality and worth. Webern’s Acht Frühe Lieder , written while he was still working inside the old language he would soon break. And Mahler’s Kindertotenlieder , songs on the death of children, composed years before he lost his own daughter. Cailin Marcel Manson sings all three. Bring someone you can be quiet with afterward.
