Musik für Violine und Orchester

"The twin-sided nature of Rilke’s late lyric poetry finds correspondance in Glanert’s pair of differently characterised movements. Orphic song starts the work in the rhapsodically sweeping Cantus, answered by an exhilarating, rhythmically trenchant movement Passus, in which the clear periodicity of dance-steps and a female elegance conjure up a portrait of the lost Euridice. Providing the interlude between this coupling is a virtuoso solo cadenza with the title Spiramen: the ‘breath’, the magic word for Rilke, acting as a bridge between the worlds of spiritual and corporeal movement." (Heinz-Harald Löhlein, Frankfurter Rundschau, 12 Sep 1996)
