Some time ago, I posted information and links to Liebersons' "Neruda Songs". The apostrophe is correctly placed since these poems were set to music by Peter Lieberson and sung by Lorraine Hunt Lieberson. Assuming that there may still be some interest in this fine mezzo's work, I post this link to a re-release of her 1998 live performance at Wigmore Hall, London.
The songs attributed to her husband are not the "Neruda Songs". These were written some seven years later. Rather, they are settings of several Rilke poems. You can read the article at the link, below.

Amazon offers the CD, along with audio samples of the content. You may link to that here.

PlaybillArts also has a photo essay on MS Lieberson, written several months after her death. You can find that here.
