I have part 2 of a 2 part collection of Nietzsche's works.
It is called "Compositions of His Mature Years 1864-82

Released by Albany Records US
PO Box 5011 Albany, NY 12205 (1996)

There are 2 pianists, a soprano, a baritone, a violin, the Orpheus Singers,
and was directed by Peter Schubert.

This may already be described above, I am not sure.  Anyways the poetry is
great, but the music is awful. Wagner had a sense for good music, and even
told Nietzsche several times that his music was not all that great.

"Prayer to life:
Oh life so strange! I hold you dear,
 Dear with the love which friend to friend is giving.  
You gave me laughter, gave me tears
You gave me wounds, but also gave their healing
I hold you dear, if you give pain or graces
And when you shoot the mortal dart
In sorrow I tear myself from your mortal embraces
Just as a friend from friend must part."

By Lou Salome (1882)
