In this episode Mandee introduces her new podcast and discusses a few basic concepts about Lieder with her co-host Deborah. The duo talk in depth about the fantastical images brought to life in the featured song of the episode Fahrt zum Hades, weaving in information about both the composer and the poet. Then Mandee is joined by Tyler Reece for a live performance of the song.
Topics discussed include, but are not limited to: the virtues of the German language, a hilarious recital anecdote, the origin of the word "tantalizing," the ability of Greek gods to know they are being tricked, why you should not kill your bridegroom on your wedding night, the horror of one fated to perpetual unfulfillment, and other super light-hearted topics! Seriously though, we have a blast talking about all this stuff and hope you Follow the Lieder with us!
Special guest vocalist: Tyler Reece, baritone
