Between 1890 and 1916 Sergei Rachmaninoff composed a total of eighty-five art songs. Often referred to as “romances,” most are settings of romantic poems, usually by Russian poets. Seventy-one of them were published under various opus numbers, but fourteen did not appear in print during his lifetime at all and bear no opus number. This volume is the first to present these songs in a German adaptation, along with the original Russian text.

According to Rautavaara it was a pity to leave the melancholy, moonlit songs of his opera Rasputin to languish within the confines of the opera. He therefore arranged the set of unabashedly sentimental and thoroughly melodic pieces, first for male choir, and in 2012 for mixed choir. Texts both in English and in Finnish.

Song cycle in Ladino for mezzo-soprano and piano. The song cycle Sarina kanta is sung in Ladino and was inspired by Sephardic folk songs. Various folk songs are quoted in the work. The first movement is a fantasia based on a poem by Avner Perez, Sarina kanta romansas, (Sarina sings romances). Sarina is Perez' grandmother, whose memory is recalled in this cycle of poems. The remaining movements are based on songs from the Ladino repertoire. Sarina kanta is also published for soprano and piano, and in the original version for mezzo-soprano and string orchestra.

Malats composed and transcribed several works for violin and piano based on some of his piano works. Two of these are the Canto de Amor (Love Song) and the Serenata Espanola (Spanish Serenade), both from the suite Impresiones de Espana (Impressions of Spain).There are only three songs for voice and piano by Malats which are known at the present time: a Nana (Lullaby) dedicated to Rosita Malats, written in the form of a theme and variations; Tristesse (Sadness) dedicated to Eliseo Meifren, with a text by Alfred de Musset; and, finally, an arrangement of the well-known Serenata Espanola with a text by Jose Nieto.We know that Malats composed a collection of songs with texts by Catulle Mendez, Maria Sourcouf, Henri de Braine and David and Armando Silvestre. However, no publication of these songs is known, nor of the two romances Reveil and En Vous Voyant that were performed by the tenor Ramon Blanchart in 1898 at the Ateneo in Madrid.
