Annotation

Op135 translation:
“In the original version of the Symphony, the poems by Apollinaire, García Lorca and Rilke were sung in Russian translation, although the composer authorised a version to be sung entirely in German. In this third version, also inspected and approved by Shostakovich, the poems are sung in their original languages, with the exception of Apollinaire’s Loreley, which follows closely a German poem written in 1801 by Clemes Brentano and which is here sung in that language.” Booklet page 4
