Follow the Lieder

Clara Wieck Schumann was a virtual powerhouse of a woman: concert pianist, composer, wife, mother, teacher, editor, arranger, entrepreneur . In this episode we cover the main points of her life and work and discuss her song Lorelei with text by Heinrich Heine. Featuring Georgia Clay as guest host and the incredible vocal talents of Dr. Naomi Merer.
