Stories From Glasgow podcast is back with a musical start for its second season.  

Cia is joined by Dr Eva Moreda Rodriguez, who introduces us to the zarzuela and early recording in Spain. Find out about this musical genre, as well as how singers and musicians adapted their zarzuela performances towards the phonograph.  

If you’re curious about what a phonograph recording of a zarzuela sounds like, or how a singer today might find the experience of recording one themselves, we’ve got you covered as Eva shares some original recordings, as well as some she made herself recently as part of the Redefining Early Recordings as Sources for Performance Practice and History Research Network.
