This week we're branching off into a new language--Swedish! In the first of a 2-part series, Mezzo-soprano Sofi Lorentzen discusses the vowels and consonants of Swedish, through thte texts of two songs from Sibelius' Opus 36, No. 4 "Säf, säf, susa" and No.1 "Svarta rosor". The new phonetic letters that we introduce this week are for the letter U [ʉː] & [ɵ] and for the soft K sound [ɕ].
