Artistic concept and production by Ute Lemper.

All 12 songs on the album are written by Ute Lemper

With collaborations by Marcelo Nisinman.

All 12 pieces are composed around the original form, without any changes to the poetry.

"When the 12th and final song THE SADDEST POEM starts, we are at the end of the journey of the love poems ("this is the last pain she will make me suffer... these are the last lines I will write for her"). This is the only poem where I have changed 'she' to 'he'.. as it feels very personal to me." - Ute Lemper, 2013
