Schubert's Winterreise: Gute Nacht

Behold! The second season of Follow the Lieder is upon us! Season 2 will be all about Schubert's Winterreise, beginning today with an overview of Wilhelm Müller and the genesis of his poems, as well as a hefty discussion about Gute Nacht, the first song of this epic cycle. With guest host Brian Sikich. My supreme gratitude goes out to Dr. Tyler Reece as I would not be able to produce this podcast without his incredible vocal collaborations.

What is Follow the Lieder?

Pianist and wacky song enthusiast Mandee Madrid-Sikich talks all things Lieder related (and not related!). Composers, poets, cultural contexts, piano settings, German romanticism - if it has to do with song, you better believe it's included in this podcast! Each episode covers a different song and is complete with special guest appearances and performances of the chosen songs.
