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.
