Composer Reinhold Glière is lesser-known even in Russia, but his songs are well worth digging into!
Show Notes
Composer Reinhold Glière is lesser-known even in Russia, but his songs are well worth digging into! They are available through IMSLP; since recording this episode, IMSLP now has the disclaimer that only the pieces before 1928 are public domain in the US, which seems to include all of his Romances (Russian art songs). If you are interested in the Azerbaijani traditional opera style that he created, the aria from Shakh-senem is available on YouTube.
Recordings featured in this episode, performed by Maika Madison, baritone, Toni Marie Palmertree, soprano, and Ellen Rissinger, pianist:

What is So Lit Song Lit?
This is So Lit Song Lit, where we reimagine the repertoire by introducing less familiar songs through sound clips and lively discussion! Together we’ll be exploring songs by composers that you may or may not have heard of already, showing how they compare to standard works, and giving you a taste of what they sound like. Join us down the rabbit hole as we expand the song canon!
